, like having their children taken away. That’s why, many moms told us, they keep this kind of child labor hidden.
All of the moms we interviewed wanted their children to go to college and build a career, and yet enrichment opportunities seemed out of reach amidst the struggle for economic stability. Working up close for affluent families, these moms saw all that their own kids were missing out on. The parents we talked to were painfully keen observers of this duality.
