Mind you, my spouse never really desired a career and is relatively fulfilled as a child care giver. However, I wonder if the children would have suffered had we balanced it differently.

I can tell you that without doubt, if I worked full time in a demanding position, clocking in more well over 8 hours a day, I would have little left for danimal and my family.
But note, I said parent, not mother. I knew a dad in Dallas who left the work force because life was too crazy. He and his wife were on the verge of divorce. Wanting to save his marriage and keep his three small children from a divided home he quit his job in sales and is now a stay at home dad. His wife, a corporate lawyer, continues as the family's breadwinner. He says he misses working but prefers his current situation to the chaos he lived before. It's not just a Mormon myth.
