When we were infants, probably, most of our mothers were not at work all the time and spent quality time with us in those, our most impressionable, years. When we reached school age then our mothers had more time, if they wanted, to enter the workforce. I'm not trying to be sexist but babies need their mothers early on in life, it is when their personalities are formed and they learn the most about how to behave from the examples set. I am not against women in the workforce, they make an invaluable contribution, but, in my opinion, they have more important things to attend to, during the first five years or so, of their children's lives. Of course, since women's liberation, we have arrived at a stage where many families cannot afford to exist on one wage. Society has made the rod for its own back.
