Comments on: School Principal Goes Back To Work 7 Hours After Giving Birth…To Show Girls How to Have It All http://mygloss.com/mama/balance/school-head-goes-back-to-work-7-hours-after-giving-birth-to-show-girls-how-to-have-it-all/ Motherhood, Parenting, Baby & Kids Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:56:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kim http://mygloss.com/mama/balance/school-head-goes-back-to-work-7-hours-after-giving-birth-to-show-girls-how-to-have-it-all/#comment-509 Kim Sat, 13 Feb 2010 21:21:10 +0000 http://mygloss.com/mama/?p=1375#comment-509 Well I totally agree that moms should rest after giving birth and that the baby should be the priority. Still for a women in a unique job such as hers (she IS the boss, all female environment ect.) returning to work as soon as possible (maybe not 7 hours!) AND taking baby along could be a great option. For many moms it is not working that is the problem it is LEAVING the baby. Obviously waitresses, police officers, construction workers etc. are not in a position to take a newborn to work with them but if the job allows it why not? I think the idea of the headmistress of a girl's school nursing her baby during work hours is something to be celebrated. I also wish moms would support each other more and not be so negative. My oldest child is 20 and I have done all three things- worked and left the baby, stayed at home, and worked with my baby along with me. I preffered the third option although I realize it is not an option for most moms. Well I totally agree that moms should rest after giving birth and that the baby should be the priority.

I guess maternity leave was not an option. I would also like to see new mother bus drivers, stock brokers, doctors, and customer service reps trying to pull that baby screaming in the crib, breast feeding, and diaper change nonsense in their respective workplaces. Sorry lady. Nice try. Impressive. 7 hours is plenty of time to bond with the human you have been creating for 9 months before abandoning them to shuffle papers back and forth on your desk.

Most moms need to rest and recover and get to know the baby and learn to nurse. However I really don't see why it is "disturbing" If it works for her then great. I do really like that she took the baby with her and since she is at a girls school then it is great that the girls can see a woman who is a full time mom AND a full time educator. It is not an impossible example because most moms would not want or be able to do that. However giving birth is not a disease and I say good for her!
