Feminism has sold the American woman a very large pantload.  Parenting is probably the most important job you'll ever have and there are some careers where there is no work life balance.  I know I've been there.  I had my children early (22 and 26). I believed the hype about how women were being discriminated against (and they are), that a woman can be just as successful as a man.  I call the BS flag and wave it high.  And the next thing you know something has got to give and it cannot be your family.
