[quote=Anonymous]I think women can't win. There are a lot of factors in society that make working moms feel guilty - and a lot of factors that make stay at moms feel inadequate. You have to do what is best for your family, truly. I am a working mom and we have high quality childcare for our kids that I think greatly benefits them. We coparent more than we would if I stayed home. I make half our income, and I enjoy my job and I do enjoy working. I'm pretty secure in my circumstances and I think it would be irresponsible for me not to work given my husband's salary.

BUT...interestingly, I don't feel insecure around other moms, I do feel insecure around men I work with who have stay at home wives! I feel like they are judging me or something and probably don't know anything about daycare and how beneficial it can be (and how great ours is). Men are probably less likely to consider things like the impact of time out of the workforce and what that may do to your career, etc. The funny thing is, men probably don't give a shit and in reality probably aren't spending a lot of time thinking about my parenting.
