Hire even though she wants to get pregnant?

[Anonymous]

My husband and I are TTC now. This thread has made it clear that I will have to hide my pregnancy as long as possible, to the end would be best, plan a completely unpaid maternity leave, and line up a new job when the baby is old enough.

I actually have posted before on the benefits of hiring only older nannies - this is one of them. Our nanny is 59 and the best nanny we have ever had. She was a teacher prior to becoming a nanny and has more energy and enthusiasm than I have! She also is 100% NO DRAMA and she never texts or talks on her phone when she is with our child. And, to your point, she is not going to get pregnant!

Yet you expected your employer to keep you on when you were pregnant, give you free time off to pump, and all the other crap pregnant employees do that the rest of us have to deal with, don't you.

It's a sanctified right for them, but an "undue" hardship for us. The women's rights movement really means upper middle class, educated, white women. Forget women of color, forget blue collar working women, to hell with the rights of domestic workers, and don't even get them started on women who stay at home. Yet they will call themselves feminists and pretend to be good caring people. Nannies and their offspring don't matter.

I could not have said it better myself.
What say ye "successful working women"?
Is PP right or wrong?

Women in every profession are at a disadvantage simply because they were born with a cervix. Some of the MBs commenting here are hard working professionals who would defend their right to be treated equally. In college I waitressed until the last week of my pregnancy. I took two weeks of leave and returned to both my courses and my job. In sum, a vagina is not a disability, please stop treating it like one.

Love what you wrote here.
