It would seem that if motherhood was indeed closer to heaven, that the logic is that it is better than a job working for someone else. Of course if things are tight and her family needs the support that would not be a luxury. With a family net worth of 7 million, she does not have to work. Sure she is great at her job, but it depends on her priorities. She writes speeches and other stuff too that can be done from home. Plus, as a rising star she will have plenty of opportunities in politics if she likes. It is not that i am sexist, but rather trying to state the obvious.
Sure if you like to work that much, no problem "A press secretary, especially a high-profile one like the White House Press Secretary, works far more than 40 hours weekly, often into evenings and weekends, due to the high-pressure, 24/7 news cycle, handling media requests, drafting statements, and managing crises, though their "official" day might start at 9-to-5. It's a demanding, fast-paced role involving constant media interaction and strategic communication, requiring long, irregular hours."People can enjoy their careers and cultivate them regardless of bank account or pregnancy. It does not have to be one or the other. Just a weird attitude to have for a pregnant female that feels blessed in her state. God bless her.
Why are being so judgmental about her decision? She not rushing out to terminate a pregnancy so she can keep her job. She’s blessed enough to do both.
It just seems shocking to me that a person of wealth would not take a year off or so to care for their newborn. As a male I would do that. Don't you think that is more normal than working long and hard hours? But yes, her life and her choices. I am sure her baby will be well taken care of. I do not see her choice as evil or wrong and maybe I am out of touch but I think that most parents would like some time off if they have more money than they can ever need.
I’m sure she will be able to bring her baby to the job. I’m also sure she will have a leave after the birth. From what she said, this administration is very pro family. I’m sure it’s all been discussed and planned on how things will unfold. Again, good for her.
All working mothers should have such options. I’ve never heard of anyone getting a year maternity leave.
Yes, some companies do discriminate like that. I'm not sure it would apply here though. If Trump does poorly, she will be better off to have left and not returned. But her future in politics is now tied to Trump. She will have choices later, like running for a House seat, though she might have to move out of New Hampshire. I suppose too she could be a cabinet officer if the next GOP President likes her for that. Lots of opportunities though, regardless of what she does with her newborn. She has lots of time to decide her priorities too and may very well change her mind.
