'ME-ternity Leave' Misses the Point!
Mother's Day is behind us, but a mother's work is never finished. And as one author found out recently, comparing that work with a vacation is not the best idea.
If you're a working mother and you've taken maternity leave, you know what a blessing it is. Those first few days and weeks after the baby arrives are filled with joy, tears, and a lot of sleepless nights. But one thing new mothers aren't doing during baby's first days at home is taking "me time."
That's probably why a recent article in the New York Post upset so many. "I Want All the Perks of Maternity Leave," wrote Meghanne Foye, "without having any kids."
This might be the first time I've seen anyone open a can of worms, the floodgates, and Pandora's Box in a single article.
