Staying at home a choice??
| Sun, 04-29-2007 - 6:46am |
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!

1) Their income is different. None of our close friends expect to quality for any aid, so all of us are trying to save 100% of all college expenses.
2) We may have differing goals, in terms of parental assistance. See answer to 1) above.
3) The girls could easily go to schools that have widely different tuition. As I mentioned, we're all saving for the best two or three in state schools.

It's a coincidence that it does, otherwise one has nothing to do with the other.

In other words, nothing.
