huh, that's interesting. I was assuming that it was because we, as a society, still want to believe that mothers taking care of children is the most wonderful thing ever. or that we were raised right (my mom stayed home with me & my brother, we really liked having her there with us). or that if we didn't get that, we were raised wrong. or something like that. I guess I was thinking that as a society we're still trying to justify the broken infrastructure and social norms. I guess, given the audience, that might just come down to be about the same thing...
I twitched at what I read only counting time away from "mothers" and not "parents."
