Moms Talk: Stay at Home?

This week Patch's Moms Talk tackles another age-old debate of how to rear children and manage your career.

Many Wilmette and Kenilworth parents balance business with family life. Some of you have quit your jobs or put off working, and Patch wants to hear about it.

As a starting point want to take a look at an article puplished Friday on TIME.com.

According to "Kids of Working Moms are More Likely to Get Hurt," the Journal of Health Economics is publishing a study that shows working moms to have less healthy kids than their stay-at-home counterparts. This study is just the latest in "the academic equivalent of a bar brawl," Belinda Luscombe wrote for TIME.com Friday.
