Biology isn't really an excuse for the dilemma, since a relatively small portion of our lives are actually spent so pregnant or post-delivery that working is a really bad option.
I think it is a conversation that women and men need to have with eachother not only at home but in businesses. We have to make career paths that do not penalize for having a balance -- for both women and men. Otherwise, we will simply be a society of couples where one is the breadwinner and the other is at home (or has a low-priority career). Because of cultural influences, that will usually mean the woman puts her career on hold or on a backburner for a significant portion of her life.
To me, this show is anything but just another reality TV show.

If that is the case, then there needs to be more programs made like this where serious issues will be raised that make people THINK rather than these trainwrecks that pass for 'reality TV' come on.
This is why when I see articles for 'new' reality shows, it turns me off...
I mean, let's face it....when Moment of Truth came out...it may have been a dumb premise, but think about the underlying question...how much are you willing to hold in or tell about your life to get some money.
How much are you worth?
I digress...
But ok...if you guys think this show actually has some relevancy, keep this thread going.
