  "Imagine being burned from your knees to your face, the flames climbing up your clothing until your neck, hair and face were engulfed. Imagine spending the next year in the hospital recovering and over the course of nine years going through numerous skin grafts and surgeries to repair the damage. While your body begins to heal, you undergo painful dressing changes to keep the wounds from becoming infected.
  
  Imagine that there is no burn unit in the hospital, or support groups to help prepare your family or help deal with the trauma. There are only the doctors and nurses who help you get through each day, a little at a time.
  
  Now imagine that you live through this experience and you are only 10 years old."

They all agree that they want to be with their children more but for whatever reason, instead are working outside the home. It pulls at their desire to be the one to care for their children and still be a "productive member" of society. Society has yet to give women permission to choose how to live and how to raise their children without the inner conflict that comes with the decision."
