I disagree , a human cannot know they are alive without confirmation of their existance from another living being !
without another person or living thing to acknowledge you then you would just think you were dreaming or dead or something else !
however most of us are lucky enough that we are surrounded by other humans from day 1.

Bah, I stay at home to raise my child, I don't feel bad and I won't feel bad over what I consider to be the right choice for me. We don't earn a tonne of money, we get by, but raising my family properly is what matters.
I'd much rather raise my own child, than dump him off at a pre-school every day for 11 hours, take him home, and put him to bed. I don't think I'd even know who my son was, being allowed to be raised by strangers for his waking hours

many of those educated women are opting to stay home and postponing their careers because it is saving the family money for them to do so...
But, maybe the discussion needs to be extended out a little more and the question asked, why? in many cases the reason is just what I stated... the family will literally lose money if they are working, or that extra hundred or so that they clear just isn't worth the hassle.
this is the problem that needs to be addresses. not weather or not any particular person is making the right choice one way or another. economics has taken the choice away from many of these women (or in some cases men)!!

Yeh well thats a the great question many a philosopher has tried to explain!
We are lead to " I think therefore I am " and we are supposed to be satisfied at least with that in some way.
I think that we have wandered onto a tangent here about confirmation of existance rather than validation of worth !
but we are both right , we do require confirmation of our existance before we can be deemed worthy!
