Dear Shakti  Hi! Thanks for your comments and I understand how you feel. I wrote this article for the moms who make the CHOICE to go back to work. Not every mom wants to or needs to. I wrote in the article: "what is good for ME is not good for every mom". I also wrote that being a MOM is the most important job in the world and a full time job( I wrote this in tip # 5). I honestly wrote this article for MOMS who need to go back to work due to financial reasons, divorce, etc. Also, for the mom who wants to go back to work because it makes them a better mom and person. Every mom is different. So, each mom should make their own decision for what's best for them and what will bring out their full potential. As a Therapist and Professor, I have met many clients/students who are moms who have needed help getting back into the workplace for their own reasons. So, I decided to post the article for MOMS who want/need help. I think every mom whether they stay at home or work outside the home deserve a pat on the back for the great job they do! I agree with you- the best reward I get from my daughter is a smile, a hug and telling me she loves me.  Thanks for your comments. I'm not trying to offend anyone with my article just trying to help the Moms who want it. Diane
