[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to say this as an older woman who got married late and only has one child but I really think that Sanberg is full of shit. This is because if you do this "Lean-in" crap and focus on getting yourself ahead despite your "family obstacles", your children and society are going to pay the price for not having a mother around. They will grow up to be sociopaths either mildly or full-on.

You can never spend enough time with your kids if you are working. I am not saying don't work and get ahead but please put your foot down to working 50+ hours at the office just because there is a carrot in front you. Companies are bleeding employees dry and there will always be more indians than chiefs. I think it is a ploy to get more people to work 50 hour weeks.

At 25-40 hours a week you can do both career and family. But, anything more the kids will truly suffer. Don't get me wrong, it sucks that it has to be that way. But, kids need nurturing from their mothers and it isn't the same from dads or grandparents. I don't know why, it just is. And I for one hate to have to admit that.[/quote]

You're wrong. My DH spends more time with our children because I work 45 to 50 or even 55 hours a week some weeks. It doesn't HAVE to be all mom all the time, especially if you have boys.[/quote]
