“My husband and I used to earn the same salary. We both have equally good careers. We could have asked ourselves who was going to compromise their career and go part-time for the sake of the baby. Financially it made no difference, but for many complex cultural and personal reasons, it was obvious that it was going to be me. I actually
like being part of my child’s life. I don’t want to be the second parent.
My husband does a great job of being a father, but I want to be the primary caregiver.”
