So it's BAD until you NEED it. Anyone who has read my posts for a while knows that my problem is the DOUBLE STANDARD. Megan was hypocritical in her stance on laws requiring a person's job be kept for them while on maternity leave. Before pregnant? It was bad. After giving birth? It's good........

OMG....What the heck is wrong with learning and
admitting from your life experience that you were wrong on a particular stance????
And if somebody realizes they were wrong about a stance, why would you not want them to be
authentic and
admit that publicly?? Do you prefer that Megyn Kelly hide the fact that she learned by life experience--not in law school--that a new mother needs time to heal and bond, and time to get thru the months (not weeks) of sleep deprivation????
A lot of us happen to
respect people who are mature enough to admit we were wrong previously!!
And by the way, those of us who
have given birth now look back and sometimes say to ourselves, "OMG......I actually thought I knew everything there was to know about parenting and child care,
before I had kids. Looking back, I didn't know ANYTHING!!"
Honest people admit they were brought to their knees by new motherhood, and that surviving the relentless 24/7 work at home as a new mother is when you truly "get your degrees".
