[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, this is what you get for demanding RTO. She'd probably be more ok with coming back if she could work from home, at least hybrid. 5 days in the office is much more intimidating to go back to when you are a new mom. There ya go. Have fun covering for her or replacing her.[/quote]

It is practically impossible to work from home with a newborn.  I mean, seriously.  Anyone who has had a newborn knows this.[/quote]

This.  DIL found this out quickly.  She was only working from home 2 days/week.  After one week, she put baby in child care five days/week.
But, some people don't figure this out.  Or think they will make up the time at night.  Trouble is, if you are working and waiting on information from the mom at home with baby, you might have to wait until the next day.  [/quote]

I was not suggesting she care for the child by herself while working. But commuting makes things much more difficult. IF WFH, you can take a kid to a daycare close to your house. You can throw a load of laundry in and out of the wash. You can breastfeed rather than pump. Or pump in a better situation than a bathroom stall at work. You can have a nanny come in and you can feed a couple times. Etc. It's just easier, even if the kid is in daycare outside the house.[/quote]
