Damned If You Do...

This article from The New York Times (I love, love, love The Times and I must say I feel smarter since I've started reading the headlines every morning and afternoon) talks about Sarah Palin and the struggle to be a working mom. Now no matter your personal feelings about Ms. Palin (maybe the "Ms." gives mine away) I am perplexed as to the double bind women are in. First there's the stay at home versus working mom debate but now there's the "You should stay at home and not work if you have five kids or one special needs baby." Who gets to decide? What about all of the male senators and representatives with young kids? Don't they need their dads too?
