That kind of begs the question, doesn’t it? Why are these women choosing more schooling and more years of employment prior to motherhood?

It’s almost like the culture is telling them that getting a degree, starting a career, and getting a nice house are goals more worthy than motherhood.

And what do the moms that “make it” and do have a kid or two do once they get there? Dump them in daycare because being a stay at home mom just isn’t socially acceptable.

Stability is an inherently subjective concept. Ask any third world mother if they’d trade places with a first world mother and the answer would be a resounding yes. Between food stamps, rent assistance, and tax subsidies, there has never been a more stable time to raise a family. But it isnt cool so they don’t do it.

This is 100% a culture problem. Women are trained from a young age that becoming an independent working woman is higher status than being a stay at home mom.
