There is no argument, just your opinion which is, an opinion, and one that I couldn't disagree more with. As the parent of two high achieving, college bound teens, my kids are involved in sports, voluneering, and of course studying. We are their parents and we are there for them, but there is plenty of time for both my husband and I to pursue careers, get a healthy, homemade meal on the table that we all share every night, and be involved in their school, education, and other aspects of their life. I supposse you are planning on having your kids live with you in college (if they are college bound)?

And sorry, [b]it's hard to breast feed your kids if they are in daycare[/b]. I have NOTHING against parents working when their kids are young and no issue with high quality care in the infant and toddler years, but there are some things that a provider can't do that a mom can. Not to mention, economically it makes more sense to not pay for infant daycare if you have the choice and desire to stay home. Stats wise, there are a lot more moms home in the early years than in the teen or elem. school years, no doubt because if my children will be out of the home between 30-40 hours anyway, I might as we well be earning a living.[/quote]

You have got to be kidding me.  Have you ever heard of pumping??   What exactly are those things that a provider can't do that a mom can?  Other than breastfeeding though I assure you as a working mom of an EXCLUSIVELY breastfed 7 month old that our child care provider is perfectly capable of giving my daughter a bottle of breastmilk.

And all b/c there are more moms home during the early years doesn't mean that those are the crucial years to be home.  I work full-time and don't really have a dog in this fight, but I have always known that it is FAR better for me to work FT now (while my kids are younger), build up my reputation and seniority and then go part time later on (when my kids are in middle school and need me more).[/quote]
