[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've posted earlier. My opinion is that women should take a year or two off after baby's birth, at this critical time when baby really wants/needs mom, baby is (ideally) breastfeeding, etc.  Then mom returns to work.  I don't think that moms should not be part of the workforce - they should. But a break in those important few years after birth would benefit baby (and probably mom, too).
And yes, i am aware that our country doesn't make this easy for women, that it could be hard to re-enter the workforce, etc.[/quote]

Obviously your kid(s) are still little.  A more seasoned mom will tell you that if you are going to take a year or two off, it should be for 7th and 8th grade.  Leaving my babies in daycare was a cake walk compared to not being home after school for junior high.

Let me add that because I've always WOH Ft, I can work at home anytime I want now that I have a middle schooler, with no loss of salary or position. Win win. One of the big problems is that moms of infants are often really short term thinkers and can't see the whole 18 or 20 year picture.[/quote]
