> Jay, this is all about personal decisions. There is no right or wrong answer to the question. In "this day in age" some women chose to contribute to the family and society by returning to the *paid* (monetarily) workforce and others chose to contribute to the family and society by working in the home where they do not receive monetary reward, but they do receive rewards of another kind that money sometimes can not transcend. Chosing one or the other does not mean that a child is not going to have the opportunity to receive wonderful care and nurturing and benefit from an exceptional childhood.

Thank you, Tamara. You said what I can't even seem to get out in a rational manner because I feel hurt by some of the things that have been posted. (I hope that's civil.)I do believe everyone from both sides of the coin could stand to take a peek at what you have said. Not necessarily just Jay.
Thank you, again.
