[quote=Anonymous]Assuming this was her choice and not something she felt compelled to do, I think it’s great. I also think it’s great when mothers stay home for months with their new babies. Mothers aren’t some monolith. If she decided it was in her best interest to go back to work, and presumably the baby is being cared for by a loving caregiver, why should anyone care? I see the responses saying that she won’t be able to bond with the baby or the baby will suffer, but I don’t think theres any proof of that. Anecdotally, DH’s mother was absent for the first two months of his life (she was hospitalized). DH’s dad and grandmother cared for him. DH is a well adjusted adult with a great relationship and attachment to his mother. When we tell new moms that they MUST stay home, must put aside their careers and interests and must make their own happiness and joy subservient to the baby, I think we risk mothers’ mental health. Just my two cents. [/quote]
