[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot be a good mother and have a career. Sounds like you both have different priorities and it will never work. [/quote]

YOU can't but I can. [/quote]

I'm a lawyer and a mom, my coworkers are mostly lawyers and parents.  My kid's doing great at school, I manage my schedule so we spend lots of time together.  You can manage to do these things and anyone who claims it's impossible has an agenda.[/quote]

I actually think there are some women who can’t and they assume we are like them. We aren’t.

Just like some men are great parents, cook and are clean..  and people who don’t have that think it’s an outlier.[/quote]

You can be a parent, that’s just biology, but cannot outsource being a good mother. A good mother does not put their kids in daycare to go to work.  You are not the parent at that point, the daycare worker is. [/quote]

Yeah, here's the deal, you know some of us had working moms, right?  Going to tell you right now, I don't remember daycare as a kid.  I do remember stuff I did with my mom.  I'm a grown adult and am very close to my mother.  I talk to her on the phone every day.  So this whole "not a good mom", I had a fantastic mom.  [/quote]
+1 my oldest went to daycare.  They are now a second year senior (thanks to many many AP/IB credits). They have a great internship that pays pretty well this summer. They recently told me that they thought we did a really good job parenting them.  We are not perfect parents, but we tried to always let them know that they were important to us, whether they were in daycare or not. And actually, they have some memory of being in daycare and having fun because they had a bff there. They had a builtin playgroup there and loved it.  It was family run daycare, and when the adult children came home sometimes, they would play with my kid because of how much they loved my kid.  It wasn't some cold impersonal daycare. Not all of them are like that.

My kids have turned out to be wonderful, mature, productive members of society.[/quote]
