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?

Do Working Moms Put Their Kids at a Disadvantage?
Why either/or???
I hate questions that are all or nothing. I believe that, if your kids are in daycare more than 40 hours a week, than yes it is wrong. But there are so many choices now. I work at home part-time and at a company part-time. I've worked it out so my kids are taken care of by family and friends. Even if you don't have family around, there are so many choices. Work when your kids are at school. Do a swap. Kids don't have to spend all day in daycare.
