Raising a young child is a mortal responsibility. And a moral one.

So in other words, once that baby pops out, the woman should stay home chained to the sink? While hubby goes about his merry way, no doubt.
One of my sisters has 2 little girls and goes out with us when she can. The girls are always left with their dad or grandma. And yes, we've had many 3 AMers. That absolutely does NOT make her a bad mother - she realizes that part of being a good parent is being a whole person - having a full life and taking time to do things with your friends. That's a lesson she is teaching her little girls and anyone who doesn't is the one with the problem, IMO.
Sorry if I am extrapolating (how's that for a big Monday morning word?) but I've seen so many marriages break up and women hating their lives because they thought they weren't allowed to be anything but a mother anymore.
