| rlwinton, I agree with your signature, except for the fact that women are saddled with the responsibility of bearing and rearing children. Kinda puts a damper on the world-building.
I think it should be built together, and the woman's role respected as much as the man's.
PHR, I can't believe I agree with your post, but I do. If you can't put your career off or if you're not capable of staying home with your baby for just a few years (0-3), then you should have gotten a cat instead. EXACTLY ON THE BUTTON! It makes my stomach turn too.
I think part-time work or school, with a nanny in the home, is fine (not everyone is cut out to do the locked in the house for three years thing), but a full-time job is criminal, IMO
A baby needs his mother, end of story.
Older children do benefit from extremely high quality pre-school, but not babies. Even a nanny can't give all the love and attention and development skills as it's mother, so even that is bad for more than 4 hours per day or so.
