Did anyone else have problems with the WaPo article? It seemed lacking on a number of fronts.

Not sure if this has been shared already, but I thought this piece from today’s NYT is really interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/17/upshot/mounting-evidence-of-some-advantages-for-children-of-working-mothers.html?abt=0002&abg=1

The link is pretty self-explanatory, but it basically says that there is growing evidence of social, economic, and educational benefits for children of working moms.
