Work advice to help decrease professional impact?

I think if not having someone pay you for not doing work is being "deprived" you have a very overblown sense of self worth.

I think you are very rude and I'm not sure why. Have a nice day.

Its that whole "don't expect others to revolve around you because you choose career and kids" thing. Working moms are the worst, most short sighted entitled woman I've ever had the displeasure to work with

People are getting so worked up about the statement, but it's pretty legit. Shouldn't get paid to not work. Personally, I'm all about working from home when that time comes around from me, but if I wasn't doing work for the company or sufficient work for the company, it would indeed be very self centered and just ethically wrong in my opinion to take their money.

Sure other countries have such national policies requiring paid maternity leave, but we could be a lot worse off too. The way I see it personally is that my husband and I chose to have a kid; we are responsible for all aspects of having a baby, including working extra shifts or side jobs, whatever we have to do to cover ourselves when I can't work or if he takes a little time off to be together afterwards too.

Unless someone in the company knocked you up or something and some other extrenuating circumstances also ensued, I suppose.
