Memories…Man its a tough job all us mothers do.

I also can’t imagine trying to handle a job as well as parent two such small kids. My head would explode if the guilt didn’t kill me first!

It’s not about whether Campbell can’t take time off to be with her children. I’m sure she could if she wanted (some journalists do – Meredith Viera and Elizabeth Vargas come to mind. They put their families ahead of their careers and are both doing okay as far as I can tell) but she has a show to star in and a career path to climb. Those are important, you know.

20 minutes of quality time with your newborn per day, that’s too intense for me, sorry!

No kidding about the maternity leave. That first baby is such a wee one to be without his Mum for so much of the time. I know it’s a stark reality for many American mums…but I wish someone there would do something about the laws around maternity leave. (I’m Canadian FYI).

yeah, that sounds pretty difficult.
wonder how she keeps herself sane…
and wonder when/if she ever sleeps!

Wow, this article makes me so glad I am Canadian and have a 1 year paid maternity leave. I have 2 kids, 23 months and 6 months, and the thought of only seeing them in the morning is awful. How do you say “Put a 3 month old to bed”? It’s not like a 3 month old usually goes to bed and then doesn’t wake up until 4 in the morning. God bless Campbell for having to deal with 2 boys this age and work too!!!! I could not do it. I know most people do, and they are superwomen.
