- utefan001 11y agoI agree, that is shameful. Each year I take a week of from work to care for my 2 children when my wife goes out of town. Hardest week of my entire year!
- scottw 11y agoPhrased as perceived. The author is probably too young to appreciate what his mother likely did for him. Becoming a parent has a tendency to change your perspective on parenthood.
- pcurve 11y agoYep, I think it's just poor phrasing. I just read it as "it doesn't look like she pursued her career further" I don't think the author meant to downplay difficulty of child rearing.

- superasn 11y agoThank you for that. I've tried disabling uBlock, run it in FF, but nothing seems to work. I was already coming up with conspiracy theories wrt my ISP. Guess their site is broken. P.S. From what I can understand the site tries to load the page via AJAX on a local domain but is denied access. So while the top URL is www.businessinsider.com the content is being loaded from www.businessinsider.in (at least in my case) which your browser blocks as no 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present.
