kelkat - you have a great point. There was a lot more cohesiveness of families a couple generations ago and yes, I think it was more natural to have family step in and help out. I think although women worked very hard in the home, there are unique stress factors at hand to day that also add to hte depressive issues women have and part of that is trying to have the career track and still being able to be a full time mom. I just don'w see it as possible - there are just so many hours in a day. Not that having a job is bad, but something has to give.
