WASHINGTON (AP) - A new poll says working moms increasingly want to work full time outside the home, and tough economic times might be a big reason.

The Pew Research Center study says researchers have seen a big spike in the share of working mothers who say they'd prefer to work full time.

Thirty-seven percent say that's their ideal, up from 21% in 2007. The shift coincides with the recession.

Thank you radical feminism! Sure don't raise your children, that's beneath you. Let someone else raise your kids. Wow what a sad mess.

2007? I wonder what happened in 2007?
