NYT article: Scaling Back Career for Baby

Hello ladies,

Thanks, Holly, for setting up this blog! Yesterday I came across this great New York Times article online and thought other women in this group would appreciate it too. The intro is below. Click the link to read the full article as well as some interesting comments from other readers.

Enjoy!

Anna has just returned to work after a three-month-long maternity leave at home with her first child. She wrote to me during one of her early days back, surprised that what she thought would be the obvious choice — returning to a job she loved — seemed unexpectedly murky.

  1. Hi Meera!

    Thanks for posting this article! I am going back to work in 5 weeks and I too struggle with the decision to go back. I LOVE my job, but my daughter has stolen my heart so of course I don't want to leave her with anyone else!

    The article definitely hit home, but I also think reading the comments folks had for the author were also very helpful! I appreciate you sharing this with us!
