Do you can't be a scientist and have kids as well?

Obviously, if you're defining a 'good mother' as one that never does anything else it is but its far from clear that this is best for kids.
-
I do not see any proof that children are actually better off, now that Mothers have left the home in mass.
-
1) Women have always worked. 2) They haven't left the home en masse. They just go to work. 3) Evidence kids are better off if they don't?

It seems very likely the best parents are the attentive ones who give their kids the love & support & guidance they need
-
Perhaps in some cases that's helicopter parenting if kids have a disability or psych problem but more benefit from some independence.
-
Did you want to be with your mother all the time? I didn't. I wanted a full life with variety & also some time to myself.
-
I don't ppl realise what a burden it can be for kids if their mother makes them her world. Especially if they've been at school at day.

My mother didn't go back to work until I was 12 & it was a relief. She had something else in her life. Wasn't all my responsibility.

The fathers job is to provide. The mother to nurture. Cannot compare the different roles.
-
It's not though. Men come home and attend to their children. They don't stay at work all the time coz that's their role, do they?
-
So why make an equivalent claim for women? More of you are more nurturing by nature so you have to stay at home all the time.
