[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going back to work when your baby is 8-14 weeks old, so essentially no maternity leave, and hitting the ground running at the same 45-55+ hours a week job you’ve always had. It should be far more common and feasible to work part time or, like, 35-40 hours a week but not more, at professional careers after having kids. [/quote] That's not societal expectation--that's the need for two incomes and bad worker protections in this country from our corporate, capitalistic culture. The societal part is when the witches in their 50s are like "I did it so you should too" instead of making it easier for those who come after them. That is the really effed up thinking. People who say "I did it and I turned out OK" really did not turn out OK....[/quote]
