it's like you are proving my point. You have a career and are

But you're missing the point....I have a career and I never leave my
house--well, I do leave the house to get groceries and stuff ha. But
you know what I mean. Anyway, *to me,* this was crucial as a single
mom, to give my daughter some stability. Having a career or not having
a career.... you can be a good Mom either way, I believe--if you get
your priorities straight. You're making it sound like *not* having a
career somehow makes a Mom *less than* a good mom, because she is
instilling values of "sponging off the man" onto her children. You
couldn't be any *more* wrong.

Wait, actually you could be, and have been many times.
