This posed on FB...thoughts?

A woman who is my former preacher's daughter posted this on FB last night.  Her husband is a preacher and it is safe to assume she stays home with her two young boys.

Moms, our children need TIME from us, not primarily our money and/or things. Daycares and nannies will not love our children like we do, or should. Our dreams are pushed aside until our kids turn 18, so that their well-being is the focus. Our children will be the product of the amount of time we spend, or don't spend, with them. 

I just don't understand why anyone would post that on FB.  Geez.  So far there is only one comment and it says very nicely that not all woman have that choice.

    I think statements like that are narrow minded.  Not all Moms can stay home with their children and to make a Mom feel guilty because she has to work to provide food, shelter, clothing...etc. seems a little mean.

    I didn't implicitly read the status as being anti working mom. I read the status to be anti mom's who don't spend time with their children. Mother's who would rather be at the after work happy hour, who can't wait to drop the child off somewhere

    I feel like she is trying to say that just because a mom works that she isn't spending time with her child(ren). Which is completely false.

    Whatever, I work and so does DH.  My son goes to daycare and I spend every open moment with him.

    I read it as her being an opinionated ashwat. Yes she is allowed to legally but it is still taking a stand that insults a percentage of the population.

    Good for her if she stays home, it's her decision and I would never ram my opinion down

    I think it's ironic that people think Christians are generally moderate in their opinion. Moderate in their anti gay, anti abortion, anti divorce, anti sex before marriage opinions!

    Religious people are in my opinion opinionated!

    I'm with Illumine. She can say whatever she wants on FB. You don't have to agree, and you can post whatever you want on your FB to state otherwise. 

    I read it tho as anti-working mom and that we should sacrifice our dreams to raise our chil

    I have never posted here or even really lurked but as a daycare teacher I can honestly say I love these children. Not like a parent does but I don't think I hinder them in any way. I think children benefit from being around not only other children but
