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?

Working Moms Provide for Their Families

Working Moms- Hazard or Help

Working moms can provide advantages and disadvantages to their children. On the one hand they provide their children with the best example of the importance of working hard. Working moms also can instill values in their children like responsibility and competence. Often times working moms do not choose to be away from their children but for financial reasons they are forced to leave them. This is primarily the main disadvantage of working moms, children can be unintentionally neglected and ignored. Yet children can be neglected even by stay at home moms just as stay at home moms can instill values in their children. There is no clear answer to this divisive issue.
