I think women are looking to rationally justify the denial of their biological imperative to be with their young. I saw a study a few weeks ago that showed mothers who knew they would return to work did not form as strong attachments to their newborns in order to lessen the pain of separation later on. (I'm searching my history for the source and will update this comment once I find it. Jewgle makes it hard to find anything that isn't pro-working-mothers.)

I knew a woman at church when I was growing up. Her sister struggled to get pregnant only to wind up having twins. She put them in daycare when they were 3 months old. That's sad enough, but what was worse was that in order to prepare them for their daycare experience, she held them much less and wouldn't let others hold them much either. "They have to get used to not being held all the time " was her explanation. How sad for those babies! 3 months old is still so tiny.
