In Belkin's essay it talks about how women who are in the work force are leaving to have families. Some people think its a choice and others think its not. Is everyone entitled that choice? Or do you have to be weathier with more convieniences?
I think that its a little of both. It does make sense that if you are weathier you have more of a choice to decide to quit work and have a family. If you don't have money then it could be harder to make that choice.
In my life, both of my parents worked. They both still do. I can remember telling my mom that I wanted her to stop working and be home, but they would tell me that they couldn't afford to do that. I think my mom would love to not have to work, but there are a lot of things my parents have to pay for, which makes it kind of hard. They're paying for me to be in college, I've got two growing younger brothers (that eat lots of food! ha), and everyone has bills.
So I think its definatly a choice to stop working and do the family thing, but I think financial status does make a difference in how easy that choice is made.
