I'm glad you had the luxury of being a stay-at-home mom, but your attitude about it strikes me as highly judgemental and elitist.

I take your point about the attitude, but Mme is correct in her original assertion that you short either the family or the career if you try to do both.

I chose the career. There is no way I could have been an adequate mom concurrently let alone give kids what they deserve. The demands of a career are just too great. With a part time job as a checker in a supermarket you could probably give adequate energy to kids but not have a serious career, not unless you have a nanny or equivalent support from family, which is often possible with a successful enough career. The alternative is to have the career or the kids first, then do the other. But concurrently, I don't see how you can give proper attention to both.
