Sorry girls, but I can't be the only one who thinks beck might have a point. It's all too common these days for mums to have their babies and then palm them off into nurseries or with childminders. Before you all rant & rave, I appreciate that returning to work might not be a choice for some women, but for others it IS. How can a person possibly give "quality time" to their offspring, when they probably only see them for a couple of hours each evening? I know what it costs to keep a child in nursery for 5 days a week, so if parents can afford that, I think they can afford to stay at home. It just seems that living beyond our means has become a way of life - at the expense of our children. Which is better - a huge mortgage, new car and not seeing your children, or settling for less and being there for them?
