2. I called it spin because the author admitted that economic forces

are mostly to blame. But I don't deny that it's a tough dilemma for many women. Most mothers have to spend quite a bit of time on childcare and housekeeping, whether they work outside the home or not, and sometimes that adds up to too much stress. I've been there ... I know it is a real issue.

I suspect, though, that if there were a way to correct for the economic factors mentioned in the article, this wouldn't be a very strong "trend" at all (because many mothers do want and/or need to work outside the home). I'm wondering why the media is so fond of this story. I've seen it several times over the past few years, with few changes.
