I thought this was a good article to post, I think there are a lot of mothers who guilt themselves into depression just because they work outside the home. I think it is more the way society pictures mothers; at home with kids, cooking dinner, that makes them feel guilty for being at work. For a lot of families in the U.S it is almost impossible to make ends meet with out a two person income. I think it is important for parents to know that it is not the quantity of time that is important. Parents need to know that it is the quality of time that is important. I think it is a good thing for mothers to work; it shows kids equal opportunities are out there and teaches them a sense of responsibility. A mother’s relationship is very important for a Childs development. Although I don’t think the mother should feel guilty about not being there all day every day it will not hurt the child in my opinion.
