The first week of April had me visiting many of the major national television programs to talk about my new book, "In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms."

One typical concern various interviewers shared was the problem of taking care of children at home by a parent when there’s been a divorce, which generally results in day care and a working custodial parent . . . usually the mother.

It may be Easter time, but for me, eggs and baskets don’t necessarily refer to the time-honored holiday festivities for the amusement of children. I’m here to warn you about the eggs — and the basket — that represent your life.
