I agree - truly experienced moms get that balancing kids and work is hard and we applaud those parents who are investing in reliable childcare so they can actually work. I’ve been burned at work by parents who are distracted trying to juggle kids and work for an extended period of time and don’t get that the solution is to invest in childcare.[/quote]

Ha- doesn’t get better back in the office.  I get burned by parents having to leave at 5pm on the dot to pick up their kids from daycare.  We often have meetings that go past that. They claim daycares close at 6 and kid has softball.  Seems like more nannies are needed.[/quote]

Many daycares do close at 6 pm. Also after a long day without their parents you are saying young children shouldn’t see their parents for even longer and parents should just hire a nanny? Seems like what you are saying is that being a good parent is not compatible with having a full time job. Basically this is what republicans want. For working mothers to quit their jobs. What people who want women in the workplace but agree with you are saying is that either kids should just not see their parents except on the weekends or that women who want to work should not have kids. Disgusting.[/quote]

Or, you know, just don’t live an hour away from your job.

I simply can’t afford to live in DC. What I can afford is a 2 bedroom apartment and I have three kids. What you are telling me is I shouldn’t have kids. Do you believe that working women should have kids? It’s a simple question. Or do you only believe that working women who are rich enough to afford a house right next to work should have kids? Also do you believe that kids with working parents should be able to see at least their parents for more than an hour a day?[/quote]

I believe none of those things. I believe if you can afford to live in/near DC, you should get a different job closer to where you CAN afford to live. [/quote]

I agree. You're not entitled to live near DC. If you can't afford it, find a job in a place you can afford. So odd that you would think anything other than this.[/quote]
