I'm ranting, of course, about Marcia Clark and the knee-jerk nonsense about how she's being punished with a custody battle because of her giant success. I know what I'm talking about. I am a divorced working mother who's been at it since my college-age daughter was not quite 3.
Careers come and go.
I've had several. But kids only grow up once. I use myself as an example because I know my situation best, but I can point out zillions of other women and divorced parents who've figured out how to work less and, yes, earn less, during kids' growing years, to be home more. It's not a burden, it's a joy. We drove around in a car that a homeless person wouldn't even sleep in.
