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!

Dorm matresses are not replaced each year.
I've never heard of doing that, and I went to a large University.
Her point was that a parent wouldn't be taking care of her adult children if she allowed them to sleep on a used matress. I find that silly, and completely impractical in most situations in which young adults live.
My parents themselves were sleeping on used mattresses at the time I left for college and had my first place on my own.
Unfortunately (for them, not me), my parents aren't in a position to help me if I needed it. In fact, they owe me money right now.
