Ann Crittenden was a correspondent for the New York Times in the late 70s and early 80s. She left the paper to care for her newborn son --- and later become an advocate for the millions of Americans who stay at home to care for kids, elderly parents, or other relatives in need. Author of the 2001 best-seller, "The Price of Motherhood," Ann says it's finally time that our society placed more value on caregiving --- and caregivers! She also reflects back on her time at the "Newspaper of Record," aka "The Grey Lady," including putting a member of Congress in jail and the perks of being a Times correspondent.
