The devaluation of child-rearing is a problem for both dads and moms. It's just more common for moms. Any parenting choice is of necessity a compromise, and I salute anyone who, as a parent, thinks about their choices and doesn't just let default rule. Part-time careers are just not done, and child-rearing is not always considered a reasonable reason for being absent or needing flex time, depending on the employer. I fully admit that not wanting to put my kids in full time care is as much if not more about me than about them.
