I am a working mother.  I work for several reasons the main one being
( I am sorry if I offend home makers) that I DO NOT enjoy house cleaning
and all that goes with it....it is simply not enough for me........
even though we have two children........ I have had no problem with my
girls staying with a sitter.  We are very fortunate in that the lady
comes to our house.  I have found that if you screen your sitters and are
really interested and carefull with the people you select they can receive
excellent child care......the rest as always is left up to the parents....
I went back to work both times when my girls were two months old ..... and
believe me they have NEVER confused me for the sitter or the sitter for me.
I KNOW I spend more time quality and otherwise with the girls.  Before I
had MANY things to do ......i.e. cleaning house ugh! running errands, etc
These things still need to be done but somehow they are not such a chore 
and my girls are MUCH more involved and I enjoy spending time with them.
I cannot see where my girls have suffered from a working mother......On the
contrary I only see benefit.......I have a niece and a nephew who have
mothers that stay home.....my children are much more outgoing they relate
to other children better and seem as secure if not more secure than the
ones who stay home with mom all day long.
