Someone on another board posted this link.
http://blogs.babycenter.com/celebrities/2009/04/12/dr-laura-says-all-moms-should-stay-at-home/?scid=momstodd_20090414_A:2&pe=2U8vYLf
It's about Dr. Laura saying that all women should be SAHMs until the child is at least 3 years old.

Whether we're talking about working or staying at home, I can't quite wrap my head around what is going on inside the brains of people that apply the phrase "all women should".

Do you think militants are actually serious, or just trying to get a rise out of others?

The kids would, sadly, have to be given up for adoption, I think.

... and for possibly the next, say, 17 years, if he becomes disabled when his child is only 1 year old.

How is it a double standard?

What of men whose wives die, leaving them with a child to raise?

Are you really claiming that raising a child only occurs during working hours and children are only raised by mothers who only preform "house duties" during the hours that a child is being cared for by someone else?

>> You do not become a better or more effective mother by being physically next to your child 24/7. <<

Anyway, I am sure that if I tried to do that, my kids' teachers would soon become very irritated with me. Plus, those elementary school chairs are so small... hard to fit in them.
