Today, more than half of all families with children under the age of six have a working mother. In 1973, that figure was one-third. With increased job competition and costs of living, the number of double-paycheck families is expected to rise even more in the next decade. Along with other societal changes, the working mother has been blamed for a variety of family problems.
Some argue that teenage delinquency, alcohol abuse, and high occurrences of school dropouts are largely the result of the mother's absence from the day-to-day life of her children. Others maintain that the amount of time a mother spends away from home is not as crucial as the quality of the time she spends when she's there.
