I disagree with this comment: "In a sense we women have shot ourselves in the foot by working outside the home".

There is nothing wrong with wanting another life than staying at home and looking after the kids or the male 24/7. Women are not other people's maid. If anyone is shooting themselves in the foot it is by letting men get away with not lifting a finger to do their fair share of chores. It is about setting boundaries and expectations and equal partnership.
