[quote=Anonymous][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] No. Not at all. Study after study shows that kids do better with high quality care, the kids are better off with a working mom if the alternative is living in poverty, and that kids are better off with a SAHM in middle class and UMC homes. It’s really very clear. This is accross a population though, and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything for one particular child, [/quote] It's not *very clear*. There are many factors like maternal education and SES that matter much more than whether or not mom works. And, you point out, these studies have no predictive value for an individual child. So again, each family makes the choice that is best for them, and kids will be fine. [/quote]
