LAST WEEK Geraldine Ferraro,in all her would-have-been vice presidential
glory, spoke to a crowd of eager University students, staff and community
members. As a speaker for the Center for Politics series on Women in
Politics, Ferraro brought much enthusiasm for womens' equitable involveme=

in policy making, business and all other sectors of a man's working world.
During the question and answer session, I asked Ferraro what role she sees
for women in the domestic sphere as they achieve yet greater heights of
equity in the public sphere. She suggested, among other things,
betterdaycare -- saying outright thatdaycare helps society.

Her answer wasn't surprising, but it is worth addressing. Citing examples
and anecdotes of all kinds of parents who care individually about the pro=

raising of their children is easy. Many people are conscious of the time
their children spend in daycare and concerned with the quality of thedayc=

facilities their children attend. However, we have failed collectively to
examine and remedy the societal cost of part-time parenting. The horror
stories ofdaycare and the exorbitant cost frequently concern parents. Yet,
the solution isn't betterdaycare; rather, families should practice
self-sacrificial parenting and reduce the time their young children spend
away from the home.

While most of us have a few years to go before we consider even having
children, we must prepare ourselves with the notion that outsourcing the
responsibilities and duties of parenthood to some stranger in adaycare
facility is not the basis for strong family life or societal progress. As
women reach equitable positions in the work force there must be some
compromise or family life in America will continue to break down.

Unfortunately, women are not men. Many women feel guilty when working
outside the home and leaving young children with other adults or alone.
Ferraro herself said that, while a representative in the House, she had h=

school aged children and made a commitment with her husband to go to most=

their school functions so that she "wouldn't have this guilt thing." Later
she went on to say, "If I had to make a decision politics or family. I'd
choose family." Other women would likely respond similarly if pressed, but
these statements of fidelity must be met with some amount of skepticism w=

one considers that, according to a 2002 National Survey of America's
Families cited by the Beverly LaHaye Institute, "[In] 72.8 percent of
families where both parents worked and had children under age five someone
other than the parents care for the children."

Forty hour-plus weeks indaycare year -- round simply isn't healthy for yo=

children. Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse, senior fellow of the Beverly LaHaye
Institute, reported, "We've known for years that the outcomes are
undesirable when children spend too much time indaycare. Regrettably,
though, the negative findings of the comprehensive studies are buried in =

small print. so that parents feel OK about putting their children in
full-timedaycare." To sacrifice the proper upbringing of a young child for
economic or political gain is utterly foolish. I don't care if I am the o=

person on the planet that thinks children are more important than careers=

serious amount of lip service is paid to the proper raising of children w=

atrociously little commitment.

In a book called "There is No Place Like Work" Brian Robertson cites that,
"Daycare workers' tasks are more akin to crowd control than to the format=

of young minds." According to a study conducted by the American Journal of
Public Healthy titled, "Illness associated with childdaycare: a study of
incidence and cost," children indaycare are more likely to be sick, stres=

and aggressive. In worst case scenarios children have even been neglected
and died. Some parents do equally woeful jobs of raising their children in
the home, so we must come up with ways to teach parents to treat their
children better. For example, communities could offer parenting classes
which emphasize a standard of self-sacrificial parenting.

The problem with discussing problems such as these is that there are so m=

different situations and a solution for one family may be disaster for
another. Furthermore, I mean not to operate on a white, middle class
standard. Every ethnic group from every socioeconomic background must mak=

commitment to better raising their children with more parental involvement
and interaction. Many problems with education, behavioral disorders and
other social ills would be greatly alleviated if women -- and men -- would
realize and come to terms with the fact that one can have it all, but one
cannot have it all at the same time.
