[quote=Anonymous]Also I’m the poster above. If you really, really care about children spending more time with their parents, the answer isn’t having one of them (and you only mean the mother) give up work. The answer is to give more mothers the education, training, and social capital to insist on jobs where we are able to spend more time with our children. Being *extremely good* and in high demand at my job means I wrote my own terms for my return to work. I took six months maternity leave. I started work in the morning when my baby went down for her morning nap, which she did in my office. After that I took her to daycare, where she stayed for about 4 hours until her afternoon nap ended, then I picked her up for the day. All meetings took place in the four hours I was in the office while she was in daycare. My daycare is, as I have pointed out, excellent. And my baby spent more of her waking hours with me than a home else. So, empower women, stop dragging them down. [/quote]
