Totally, yeah.
I wouldn't want my husband to give up his career, I wouldn't want him to want me to give up mine, and if he's a decent man, he wouldn't want me to do that either.
So what we all would need is to do what we all think is best. And "best", in my opinion, is not one parent having to stop working. Not the father, nor the mother. Because having one parent around 24/7 is not the best way to raise a child. Giving up your career doesn't automatically make you a good parent. Fighting for what you want and giving your child the best you can get for him does.

It doesn't have to be that way. And if it came down to that, the parent having to make the sacrifice could be the father as well as the mother.
