It's about Harry Potter, yes. There could be spoilers.
Sometimes I read things I really want to respond to. But I don't want to smash anybody else's house and I don't want to pick on anybody. I just want to react. Here is where I'm going to do it.

Also (ahem) what's wrong with staying home with your kids, if you can afford it? (she types, holding the baby.) I mean, maybe magic enables a high enough quality of living that it's feasable for one parent to stay at home with their kids. (And even if it's not, it seems that a lot of wizard jobs are easily adapted to work-at-home, at least part time. Witness the Quibbler's home-based operation.)

Frankly, with so many wizard children in boarding school, I'd be surprised if more mothers (or other caretaking parents... could be fathers, grandmothers like Neville's, etc...) *didn't* have some sort of outside the home occupation, at least during the school year. There are only so many sweaters Mrs. Weasley can knit without going insane.
