Call a truce in the mommy wars

Get a grip, ladies! Don’t allow Sarah Palin’s candidacy to reheat the “mommy wars,” to pit working moms against those who stay at home. Here’s what we find distressing: One set of women telling reporters they passionately agree with Palin’s decision that she can raise children and serve as vice president; another, equally passionate set of women decreeing that she’s bound to give short shrift to her family or her job, or both. It’s time to put this fight to rest.
