Third wave feminism is so much nicer than second wave feminism about this. Every kind of work that women do should be respected, I think - and yet, I don't think there's a mother I've ever met who doesn't feel guilt that she's doing it wrong. I think that's something the patriarchy teaches us...it's not enough to make your family happy and be happy yourself; you also have to help keep everyone else in line. Blech. Good for you, following your path, and just kick those brain weasels when they pop up.
