To continue working after your child is born is a question most professionally inclined women struggle and it is no less diffcult no matter which way you choose. Women live with guilt on either side of the fence, they also find it easily to blame the working/ non-working for almost everything and funnily the same thing.
A friend (who had recently quit her job) lameneted that her child was clingy, sought attention and was not as well behaved and that it had probably to do with her staying at home. The same evening, we visited K's dentist and after a stellar performance from my darling girl (no tears, no fuss) and after my job came up, the dentist said that she always thought I was a stay-at-home mom because she found K to be well-behaved in contrast to her son who was clingy, sought attention and was not as well behaved as she would like. Ah, well..
