There's a big continuum between staying at home until the kids graduate from high school, and letting a kindergartener come home to an empty house. And, in my opinion, most good mothers fall in between those extremes. As for why women have children, and work, it's because we want to, and we can. And my kids are alright, thank you.

The 1/3 off issue has nothing to do with anything... I guess you could say its remotely related to parenting in some way... nothing in particular I just see a lot of difficulty with basic math skills at the grocery store during the day. I think it has about as much to do with Columbine as my pov does, however. But to your point, why would someone have kids that doesn't want to stay home... all I can tell you is that I always thought I would probably have kids... and this year (for a number of reasons) I had to stay home from work. And I am miserable. Other people aren't miserable when they stay home all day but I am, why I cannot say. Therefore, for me, some unrelated individuals proclamation that I would be a better parent if I stayed home is likely false. But this in no way alters any desire I have for children - its a separate emotion.
