Why are you questioning "progress"? This is the modern ideal. If a mother raises her child, it is regressive. If she pays someone else to do so while she "works" it's progressive.
3rd parties raising children adds to GDP. Motherhood doesn't. And it's all about that, no?

I'm not shaming working or non-working mothers. I'm questioning a system that holds one superior to the other and discounts the role of motherhood in society. "Child care" alone won't solve it. This is as much an artifact of nuclear families.

One system is termed “backward” and another “progressive.” Both have pros and cons.
Early marriage led to less MIL conflict. Also children raised by extended family in joint family settings.
Problem is state pushing society to conform to one model.

It’s tricky Nandita. In my own case the children’s mother stayed at home till they were 3 before going back to work. We were lucky she could do that. But every family has to make their own choices.
I’m not judging those choices but rhetoric around them.
