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?

    Negatives of Daycare

    While interacting with other children and learning to share and engaging in creative activities can be very beneficial to a child there are some negatives. My younger brother was placed in daycare while my mom went to school to become a nurse and he absolutely hated it. The other children were not nice to him and the caretakers were not very good themselves. He often came home complaining of what the teachers did to him that day. So while the concept of daycare may be useful the reality may not be be as strong as the conceptual idea.
