Warning: brief rant ahoy.
I have a friend who is choosing to return to work when her baby is nine months old.
I have a friend who is choosing not to return to work now she has two children.
Both have been criticised - or feel that they are being judged, implicitly or explicitly - by friends and strangers alike for their decision.
There is no "one size fits all" - clearly, you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't, I guess? Surely the best decision is the one that works for that specific family in that specific situation?
Ooof.
