If you choose to work, it's up to you to find quality day care. If you choose to forgo the second income and stay home, it's up to you to find a way to afford preschool or a morning out for yourself.
Government should do everything for us! We should have to go to the trouble of finding and paying for our own child care if we want to get away from the kids we brought into the world!
The only way out, Warner says, is for mothers to rejoin the political scene and to call for a new "politics of quality of life" that would create institutions to help us care for our children so that we don't have to do it all on our own.
Yes! And get rid of those icky tax cuts so that government will pick up the tab for spoiled women to have more time for themselves! God forbid we should raise our own kids ourselves!
Interestingly, in the previous paragraph the author wrote about how there should be preferential tax exemptions for people who have children. So, let's see, she wants taxes raised so that the government will fund her free time, but she doesn't want to pay higher taxes. I see. Typical liberal illogic.
Why, of course. It's her world and we're just bit players in it. This woman should be embarrassed to allow herself to be the subject of an article like this. I know the Post meant it to be a sympathetic take on another of its certified "victims" groups, but to me it makes these women look selfish, frivolous and weak. Don't even the editors of the Post at some point get tired of re-running these drippy stories?
