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!

To each her own, of course.
We put quite a few of our regular expenditures on our cc and pay it monthly. We were able to use the mileage we earned for our family of 4 to travel to NY this spring break. We will use the mileage we accrue again next spring break for another big trip.
