In this day and age

Are professional people still judged poorly for deciding to leave the paid workforce to stay home with their children? Why is it assumed that if you spend your child's early years caring for them instead of leaving them in someone else's care, that you become useless as an employee when you rejoin the paid workforce?

Are the skills of caring for another human being not transferrable to the "career world"? I'd think communicating with the non-verbal would be about as useful as it gets in the business world.
