Naturally, the question of whether children do better with a working mom or a stay at home mom has been researched.  Children of working mom's fare just as well.  Giving up her career just wouldn't make her children more happy or more successful.  If you are looking for a boogey man to blame all of America's woes on... it's NOT working moms.  But thanks for the guilt trip Richard.  Mothers definitely need more guilt trips.
