Why does the media portray working moms, always, as having guilt?

I had lunch with four girlfriends on Wed. We decided if we could just combine the best traits of our husbands we'd have *the* perfect man.
Combination of cooking (my friends DH is a chef!!!), great with the kids (my DH who loves to play with them, read to them, etc. etc.), great handiman (other friends husband runs a contracting firm) and total romantic (we hate her...;) her husband brings her flowers constantly -- suprises her with romantic dinners and trips, etc). Pretty funny. I would love to hear what they'd say about us:)

"I wonder what time zone she is in."
I think we're all wondering that, Chris.
Yeah well, that's just, ya know, like, your opinion, man-The Big Lebowski
I can't recall exactly what I typed in my first post, lol. There are so many posts that have been typed since. I THINK I understand what you're saying though. My mother and both grandmother's worked so therefore it was a natural choice for me. Sah only briefly entered my thoughts and once I tried it I didn't care for it. As far as my girls go, they can work or not. I'm guessing they will because they tend to be very independant and fond of money ;). They see me working and when they visit my office they see plenty of women in higher level jobs/careers. Women not being encouraged or allowed to work will be an antiquated idea that may fascinate them at the same time it pleases them that it is indeed out-of-date. They also tend to see boys as their equal from the get-go (no coaxing from me) and will often play with them over the girls (I'm fine with this because I don't have to hear "so-and-so said if I don't do _____ she won't be my friend anymore.")
I think it is great that society accepts working mothers and women in general. I like that child-free-by-choice women are more accepted and that dads are becoming more likely to either sah or become more involved. I like having choices for my girls and their future spouses. I would like to see sah/woh/wah not degraded as much and I would like to see more women supporting each other even if they don't care for one choice or the other.
Thank you....and I am sure that you are correct.

In that case, his children are probably a lot younger than the ages he has posted.
