Mothers who "Opt Out" of the career path

Well - you guys have hit on a hot button for me. Why are articles about daycare and careers always about women working? It's possible for a woman to have a career without putting her kids in daycare. Dad can just as easily stay home.
I do think more is typically expected of the stay-at-home Dad. (Building a house for example) but that's a different topic.
And sometimes I wish I had been the one at home, but this is just the way it worked out and I'm really glad my kids were home with their Dad.

I have to admit I didn't read the article. Also I don't have time to edit my post and make sure it's written the way I want - gotta get to work.
