Do Working Moms Put Their Kids at a Disadvantage?

The fascination with Sarah Palin comes not only from her unexpected rise, but also from the fact that she is a mother of five, with one child under a year old. While Palin seeks the vice presidency, one of the most demanding jobs on Earth, more than 40 million American moms also balance jobs with motherhood. Do working moms have the best of both worlds, or are they potentially neglecting their children's best interests?

    Emotional Stability

    The most important factor in a child development , I believe, is emotional stability and not economical. But unfortunately sometimes one requires the other, so a happy balance should do it. The problem is that sometimes the mother is under so much stress after a day a work that she is completely exhausted to give the necessary attention to their children and that will put the child at a disadvantage.
