Most mothers want to spend time with their kids, but are only given options or policies that favor working moms.
—
After more than two decades at NBC, “Today” show anchor Hoda Kotb announced she’s jumping off the career treadmill to raise her children. I know how she feels. So do the majority of America’s mothers.
However, raising our own children isn’t a choice easily available to moms who aren’t celebrities or wealthy elites. Hoda’s colleagues tearfully clapped her on the back for her “guts.” The rest of us are shamed and are forced to deal with laws and policies that favor working moms.
