You know when you have kids, it really boils down to whether its your life that's important or your child's. you don't have to spent all your years taking care of your child as they do grow and learn to be independent but initial years are crucial studies prove it and it a no brainer. I had a very successful career and 2 masters, it was a difficult choice but I did step down to do do something more important which was to take care of my young and yes I would have never left my child with a maid. Yes my husband is proud of me, He doesn't have to eat out and spoil his health as I mattered cooking during my break and U look prettier as all the physical a ti itty has made me more agile than the working woman who hog and get used to the 8 hr lazy routine as opposed to 24 hr hard labor of a sahm. To top it my kids are brilliant.

Awesome awesome article...made me cry sitting in office as I also have to leave my kid at a daycare and goto work...extremely difficult thing to do for all mothers
While reading this I remember my mom who is 58 years old and has started working from the age of 24 still wants to work even when we her daughters working in MNC's. When we are small kids i remember that playing around her office and sitting under her table and scribbling in the papers she gives me.A lot of situations came and i told her to take VRS but still she used to say just for 2 more years let me work and she is known for her sincere work. Love you mommy... U made our life into beautiful garden.. Thanks Anila for making me remember all those wonderful days.. U made my day..
Suprisingly its me(male), sharing in this column and feeling amazingly pride in accepting and hailing woman in all spheres. Now as a husband its the duty to share the work load even if thats of the kid then probably she will feel more calm and focus well. Husband or wife atleast one of them has to be prepared for sacrifice. In my case its me who has opted for work from home (Comparatively less package from previous) coz my wife is incredibly successful in her career and equally incredible mom. Its my onus now to keep her just that way. Still i feel my role is limited as compared to her. But the satisfaction that she derives from the confidence in my capabilities of handling both work and home is appreciable. On a final note, husbands should also share and start owning the household activities including baby/old parents/cooking etc..then we will see many Nooyi's on the horizon.
A woman sitting at home is not necessarily a good mother. A woman who works is not necessarily a bad mother.
For children, quality time matters more than quantity of time.
Being a housewife is very tough, loaded with work. Being at home is not be equal to being 24/7 for the child.
Ofcourse after having a baby, it is necessary in the growing years for the mother to take a career sabbatical. But men must also step up and take a career sabbatical for the woman to catch up.
It's necessary in today's age for both, men and woman to have a career.

your opinion can be vice versa also.you can label any relationship as good or bad.but not the relationship between mother and child.it will be always in the range of better,best or good but surely not bad.its a fact that if a mother who gives full attention to child,then chances of that child to excel in its life is 90%.if a mother gives divided attention to her child chances of her child to excel in life is just 40%.anyone can argue to hide thier defeciencies,but the fact cannot be alterd according to ones whims and fancies. thanks.
