1. We NEED two incomes to survive... Yeah Right! I honestly believe that out of the people that say this 90% would be just fine if they would cut their lifestyle, move to a cheaper area and sacrifice. I am not buying it one bit when people say this.
2. I put my kid in Daycare for the socialization.. Good grief, how much socialization does a 10 month old need?? Besides there are better ways to much socialize young children.
3. I am a better mom if I work outside the home.. UGHH! How in the world do you think you are a better mom by handing your kid off to Grandma or someone else to raise while you go work?? Unless you are going to beat them or verbally abuse them, I always think at home with mom is where kids thrive the most..
THere are others I can't stand, but these are my top 3. Have at it..

I am seeking my intellectual stimulation...the pool thread just isn't cutting it :)
I am really asking?! I am not saying it to be so......asking for your input as a board of primarily US parents.
I am asking anyone who can offer experience on a short mat leave whether they felt it affected the amount they were bonded with their child at the time they returned to work.
That's all.
With a winkie icon attached, what else could it have meant?

Did your spouse return to work after the birth of your youngest child, isn't that child around three?

Um...yup; I did say that I knew it was a broad generalization but I am asking since I have never returned to work with a child that young. Asking. Imagine that.
Hi Kimmie,
I can answer that...while I would have taken more paid time if it'd been available to me, I don't feel that I missed out on any bonding. I went back to work part time at 6 weeks pp, then full time at 12 weeks.
So not really, anyone?
Your answer for me:
