My mother was a full time mother.
I am, and shall remain, very grateful till I die and beyond.
Her 'job' was far more important than anything else I can think of.
What you ought to be discussing is how society can value the mother who
has a full time job 'mothering', rather than trying to juggle women
careers when they are also expected to do everything else on top (not
that I agree with that last bit, natch.)
