Staying at home a choice??

The author of this article thinks most mothers go to work because they want to, not because they have to.
"Most parents from two-parent families today do have a choice when it comes to parental care. They can try and talk themselves into believing they don't, but it really boils down to priorities."

Does anyone (other than her) really believe this? I don't know of anyone among my friends who works who wouldn't rather be staying at home with their children. But they don't have the choice!

You said: "If your thing is antiques or used things, then go for it. I have worked my way up from the age of 19, out of college to be able to buy nice things for my home. Most people (as least the ones I know) don't live the way they did at 18, at the age of 40. By then, you have a better job, more money and get better things."

"Yes, I would rather have new. We never had anything used when I grew up so I am not used to that. My dh had everything used and does not want to go back to the way he grew up. There is no reason for it when you are an adult and have a decent job and can pay the bills."
Perhaps you misspoke?
