As a working Mom myself here in Idaho. It's hard for me to completely agree with this study because I'm working and thriving here in the Treasure Valley. I've also been very happy with the school my children attend and the schools that I have visited. That being said, being a working Mom is tough in any state. It's exhausting and a very careful balance between earning a living, creating a career, and raising good kids.
