I have actually thought of this angle too, but no way can I imagine being too depressed to work, yet able to care for babies / children....


That's so demanding and quite frankly a thankless job. What with the crying, the screaming, the tantrums, the dirty diapers, feeding time, play time, nap time, potty training.... Etc etc etc


I'm sorry, but when I'm depressed I can barely clean my own bum, let alone clean someone else's on demand.


I'm a single mom, and I thank God my mother was so hands on with my daughter when I was in the depths of depressive hell.
