much of this crowd has as much of an "either or attitude" that is as bad as the fundies. I am working two jobs so my sons can have their mother home with them because WE believe that having at least having a parent there means alot. It doesn't mean that we think less of people who choose to work or HAVE to put their children in day care or with extended family, it means this was our choice and it is working out wonderfully.

Don't let anyone tell you different. Being a SAHM is a difficult, maddening and frustrating job at times but my wife thanks me often because she gets to see much of the growth, successes and milestones that I miss and she is grateful to have that opportunity. As the boys age into their teenage years we have even talked about switching roles where I would work less and she would go back to work and let me care for them at that critical age.

Keep up the great work.
