For real. Also, this is morality advise disguised as financial advise

I didn't mean it as the strictest one-size-fits-all solution. We all have to eat, so we have to do what we have to do to survive. But (here's my morality advice) it should be the norm for a mother not to routinely leave her children for others to look after.

I hate the common tendency to reject a good rule because some exceptions can be found.

It does fit all.
