There are all sorts of successful and unsuccessful family dynamics out there. There are some fantastic single, career driven mothers who raise great chilren. There are families where both parents are home who do nothing but damage their children. There's no single path to being a good parent. You do not have to choose between being a parent and having a career. Being successful at both is achievable and some of the most intelligent, well adjusted and successful people I've known over the years had parents who were both very career driven.
