Why do so many women treat birth as though you are recovering from some sort of serious surgery.
You had a kid, your body heals quickly.
I could absolutely understand having a nanny work more for you to rest in the beginning...but 3 months later??
Come on. That is just lazy. I'm sure someone is going to try to say that a serious tear or c-section could take months to heal. I call BS. I had a third degree vaginal tear and was back at work 8 weeks later.
Some of you seem to think that giving birth makes you this mystical giver of life who should be worshipped on a f**king alter. You squeezed a kid out.
It's not a big deal.

I hear you.

Stay strong & keep your eye on the prize.

The prize = End of maternity leave.

I actually HAD brain surgery AND radiation and still worked part time, so suck it lazy entitled moms. People do what they need to do to get by. Toughen up.

It's her job and responsibility to take care of her children, so, tough. Recovering from Having a baby is easy and billions of women have done so without all the nonsense of today's women. She had a baby not chemo.

Bwa ha ha. The ignorance of youth!

Hardly. I have had three and oldest is a senior in college. I managed quite well and found no reason to act as though I was recovering from brain surgery. Last one was csection and still didn't act like an idiot.

She did just give birth, you know. And apart from the hours you're there, she's juggling both the kids, the household and the husband, on top of this traumatic for the body experience of labour. Cut her some slack.

Ah, so sad.

Cut her some slack, okay, but this division of labor should have been discussed and agreed upon ahead of time. I never had sole charge of both children during my MBs maternity leave. We exchanged children sometimes, so she could have 1:1 time with her toddler, but she didn't want me doing all the work. If OPs MB didn't talk this out with her ahead of time it's no wonder OP is disgruntled.

And I'm sorry OP, but your title made me lol. I hope you're able to get into a routine with the kids soon.

Ughhh!! This happened to me. We are in California and she stayed home a total of 8 month and it was hell. Almost cried when she got the extra FMLA!! I had been crossing off the days on the calendar for 6 months and then she got her maternity extended.

That moment on Tuesday of the last week of your MB's maternity leave when you find out that it's been extended.

Nothing against her, just so ready to be back to a normal routine!
