Yet another article on moms

Maybe I need to stop surfing while nursing, 'cause I found another voice chiming in on the whole feminist mom/stay-at-home mom discussion. Since so many paid journalists are taking assignments to write articles on this topic, I can tell it has a lot of readers.

This article discusses the fact that feminist moms tend to be less happy with their choices and maybe it is because they just have too much choice. Apparently there is a lot of research lately that says more choice doesn't lead to more happiness. I haven't read up on this thought yet, but my dad is reading a book on it and is very taken with the idea (so it has been mentioned in multiple conversations). Anyway, the article ends well, with the line "sometimes the personal is just personal."

I keep feeling vaguely guilty for staying at home, as if I am forfeiting points in our life scoring system (money). I think I keep reading all these articles hoping to find someone just like me who is staying home, but the people like me are the ones still working. What does that mean?
