Since I posted the article, I guess I'll be the first to comment on it.
Women of a certain means have ALWAYS been able to do this. This is nothing new to me. It was not until college that I met people whose mothers either worked the entire time their kids were in grade school, or resumed working when the kids were in their mid-teens.
If it can be done comfortably, I'm all for mothers (or fathers!) staying home with children if one income can take care of the family. Some people just feel better working, while others want to stay at home, and that's fine.
Just another piece of sensationalism from the NYP.
