Firstly can I just make it clear, before anyone jumps down my throat that this is not my opinion in any way shape or form. I thought it would be the best way to get people's attention .
To explain - I read an article in a parenting magazine where two mums gave their opinion on working with children. The one from the non working mum had me absolutely splitting blood. here's a quote from the article...
"Women should stay at home until their children are at least school age. I'm disgusted by mums who say they aren't prepared to stop work. A nursey can't love a child like a mother. To me it's a form of acceptable abuse"
These comments have made me really on so many levels. Doesn't this woman realise that children are abused in far worse ways (yes, sometimes by SAH parents, sadly )than being cared for by someone else!
Well, anyway I'd love to know what other MNetters think about this. And if the woman in the article reads this...bring it on. GRRR!
