[quote=Anonymous]I have never wished I had more maternity leave, and I went back at 6 weeks for my second child. 4 months for my first while at a law firm, which worked OK. I work part time now (35 hours a week) and it works well for me. My kids are now 13 and 9. No regrets. Being a SAHM is fine if you want to do it. I didn’t. My kids are really amazing, I wouldn’t change anything. I also don’t really have help…chores together is quality time. It builds so many connections, just talking while working and being together. There is no reason to feel guilt. For smart people, being home alone with a baby is really stultifying. They just aren’t that interesting. You have to have something else going on—whether it be hobby, reading, work or whatever. Anyone who is completely immersed in a baby is low on intellectual curiosity.[/quote]
