I can sort of see where both sides are coming from, I do think that having both parents working, as is often the case in today's modern economy, can have potentially negative consequences for the development of a child. I do think that the fox news commentators take a bizarre approach to this however and their attitudes harkens back to the "good ol' days, were there was a meal on the table when the man be gittin' home from werk".

There needs to be more emphasis placed upon quality maternity/paternity leave in the United States, which if memory serves me correct is only 6 weeks. If it is the mother or the father that is staying home with the child is irrelevant to me.
