I thought this was super interesting! My only issue is that it basically defines success for women as having a higher income and being in a supervisory position. Which isn't really my idea of success at all, and moreover, implies being a stay at home mom or not in a supervisory position is being unsuccessful in life.

I think they have an interesting view of successful. If my kids stayed at home to raise kids id consider them successful.

Yeah I agree with PP, why is it better for a woman to be successful in the work force but not as a mother? And why is it better for the sons to be more caring? Isn't being a caring mother just as important? I'm sure that being a loving parent with children who are healthy and cared for is more important than the mothers work status. Both working and non working mothers are capable of raising well-adjusted, successful children.

It was an interesting read. As a WOHM I hope I raise caring sons. I hope they are caring because I raised them that way, but magically being caring because I work is great too.

I think even though this article said there is statistically significant at the 99% level, there are still too many factors that cause a person to be “successful” or not… or “caring” or not.

I think it's a really interesting article, I'd love to read the study.

I would be very interested to see how happy the grown up children are in this study, alongside how "successful". I want my daughter to be happy in her future.

@loveisstrange: exactly.
