How delightful to see the things you know come out in the research. Over 13 years of working with new mothers helping them get started breastfeeding their little ones, I have almost never seen a mother who wanted to leave her baby and go back to work. So, why do they? They've been lied to! All their lives they've been told that to be fulfilled, to have the good life, they had to have a career. They've been told that they could "have it all" by marrying, having a supercharged career and somehow fit their children into tiny increments of "quality time." I've had mother after mother say, "Why didn't someone tell me I'd feel like this?" when they consider leaving their babies, but they can't stop now. Since they've always been told that this is what women should do, they've bought a big house and nice cars that they have to have a two-paycheck family to support their lifestyle. They feel trapped - and they are.
This is what really gets me about feminism. Feminists say that women got no respect before feminism. Who knows? I know this, though, that women still get no respect for doing "women's work", but only if they become imitation men! It gives me hope that some young women are waking up to the truth and are daring to do what they want to do! Shockingly enough to the feminist establishment, that's stay home - nurture your children, help your husband, make your house a home - the most creative and rewarding position a woman can have. The rewards are eternal. I wouldn't trade for a million dollars!
