Also - after reading her blog further (it is a great blog for Gluten free and vegan recipes, btw!), the Penniless Parent apparently lives in Europe, in an area with robust public transportation and, presumably, more a of a social safety net than we have in the US (I'm making that assumption because most/all (?) countries in Europe seem to have a more robust safety net when it comes to subsidized childcare, healthcare, public transportation, sick leave, maternity leave, etc).
She even had a post about taking public transportation in different metropolitan areas she's visited and says if she lived in Cleveland, OH she would not be able to use public transpo.
So it is a great post about individual choices, but now I find it an even more non-sensical response to an article that was originally about the systemic issues
faced by a group of women in Raleigh NC.
