I'm a lawyer. I've worked full time as a mother, and I've been a stay at home mom and I've been an "in between" part time mom/lawyer.
With a newborn, the only reason I'd stay home is the bonding for the child's sake.
If it were just about ME, I'd take working full time anyday, over caring for a newborn. Especially if I had given birth to the baby, which is exhausting and painful.
At that time, the last thing I'd want to do is care for someone else, let alone someone who sleeps minutes at a time and is fully dependent on ME...but of course, I've said it before and it bores you. Hence your tone of contempt.
To hear you talk about it, or rather, to NOT ever hear you talk about it, it's like you were not even there...you don't seem to know what we are talking about. Or you slept through it all...
At least in the eyes of mothers here, you are living in the Middle Ages.
