I also work for a company that says "Family First". If you can not take care of yourself...your family then you can not do the job well!!
I ALSO get equal pay for equal work...if not better then some of my male counter parts!!!

A child needs its mother....but she can still work and be home when needed!!
As all of this is in regards to the Palin household and how some have the feeling her kids "suffer" because she works - this is a two-parent household where the father is basically acting as the stay-most-of-the-time-at-home parent.

Mothers don't have a monopoly on child-rearing, advice-giving, skinned-knee patching, and all the other ups-and-downs with raising kids. The role of "father" seems to have become detached in these posts with an insinuation that only mothers matter. That seems a bit chauvanistic.
