[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone without a dog in this fight hasn’t it basically been proven that it does not matter? Like study after study?[/quote] Yes, it has, but there will always be a cadre of SAHMs who will swear to the high heavens that it is better for babies/kids to have mom at home all the time. And some cadre of WOHMs will say it's better if kids see mom working or whatever. Based on what research is available, it probably doesn't matter whether mom works or not as long as the kid has a stable, loving home where the parent(s) are engaged. And we all know that money helps, too. Beyond that it's really personal preference. But we live in a society that damns moms if they do or damns them if they don't and so they fly their anecdotes up the flag pole and rip on other moms to make themselves feel better, instead of rallying together to try and improve things for all moms and families.[/quote]
