It's not the same
If you feel that caring for children is oppressive...then don't have them. It most certainly is NOT the same or equally responsible of you to have a nanny raising your kids...and you know that, which is why you got defensive and started throwing "oppression" and "little life outside the family" in. Children are not an accessory to "complete" their parents' happy adult picture. There is NOTHING wrong with being a career woman and finding your fulfillment in your accomplishments outside the home. Nothing at all. There IS a problem with abdicating your responsibility as a parent for your own fulfillment. 6 years at home and another 12 being there when your kids are home from school is the job description. If you don't want to do that job...don't apply.
