[quote=Anonymous]This is literally the craziest thread I have ever read. I was a SAHM for a year but have mostly been a working mom. A SAHP or a parent on maternity/paternity leave is the default parent without need for discussion during the other parent's working hours. Period. It is crazy to suggest he should have canceled his important c-suite presentations so his wife on maternity leave did not need to take care of two kids at the same time. My nanny moved for her husband's job when I was 8.5 months pregnant with my second so I spent the vast majority of my 4 month maternity leave taking care of a baby and toddler alone. New nanny started two weeks before I went back to work to get to know our routines and so I could spend some quality alone time with each kid before going back to work. Anyone who cannot take care of two kids alone--at any ages--should not have had a second kid. Her DH could have been in California for 4 days. Even with no snow day, she would have had to take care of both in the evenings. [/quote]
