“I don't think they SHOULD, but they should have the option. I probably will.”
“I work full time and I hate the fact that I have to get my girls up early in the morning to go to a babysitter. I should be the one taking care of them but it is just not financially possible.”
“If you're good at being at home, it would be better. If it makes you stir crazy & cranky, get a job because you wont be doing them any favors yelling all day.”
“Some women do not have the financial luxury to engage in a working/stay at home mother debate. I work full-time and am glad that I am providing my son with a model of a strong, successful woman but it is up to each woman to decide what is best for her and her family.”
“Single mothers have no choice in the matter.”

“By reading over their shoulders.”
“Net Nanny, PC Timekeeper.”
