"In fact, what the AAUW report reveals is that, at almost every step of the way, women could make decisions that would keep them even with their male classmates. But they don't."

No, they don't. They don't because it means putting their families second. It means missing all those wonderful firsts, and being there when your three year old surprises the heck out of you by asking, "Mama, what does 'notice' mean?" I answer, "Where did you hear it?" looking for context to answer him with, and get the reply of, "It's written here on my fold up chair." He can READ?!? Yes. Surprising to me even. I would have missed this moment if I were out chasing a dollar. And can you imagine how a daycare provider would have responded? Would they have even noticed he was reading? I don't get paid to grow a garden, but we could not have the quality of work done in our yard if we were both working, nor would we have the peace we have in our home--I'm almost certain. Then there's the homeschooling issue. We do it because we believe it is best for OUR family.

No feminist should be out there saying that I'm ruining it for other women by living MY BEST LIFE. We should be in this together, allowing women to make the choices they need to in order to feel fulfilled, no matter what road that is. Not making each other feel guilty.
