Wow,I just went to the Kate’s maternity leave thread and it is NASTY.
What is this, for example ( a post by Lizbeth )
“
While I think leave is fine, I’m not buying the idea that proper bonding requires her to be home with the baby 24/7. While Kate’s “on leave” she’s not available 24/7 to the baby nor are “ordinary hands-on” moms who do things like clean the house, grocery shop, go to church, engage in their regular charitable activities, have a night out with dad, etc. all while “on leave.”
“
Let me tell you something, “Lizbeth”, a new baby wakes up every 2 hours to feed. And if you breastfeed, it does not matter how many nannies you have, you still have to wake up every 2 hours. You get no sleep for the first 3-4 months, you become a zombie.
Cleaning? What cleaning? Grocery shopping an cooking - the husband can do it. Believe it or not, even in regular households women get help, and they are still struggling.
