but after that as long as one of us is raising the chilluns, then fine by me. Perhaps you didn't understand that this meant I have no preference which parent is staying home with the kid. If breastfeeding is crucial as you say it us then all women should have to stay home. All women should have to stay home because of my belief?? The world might run a little smoother if I were allowed to make decisions for everybody but that's just crazy talk.
If asked, I'm sure I would have said along the same lines (except perhaps the 'marrying' part...) while I was in college. How much I actually meant or believed is another matter. I think you are adding words. There is a whole lot of difference between "have the choice..." and "be the ones to have the choice".
