Please o! I thought maternity leave is for the new mom to care and nurture her baby and rest( despite the fact that there's no rest) I thought thats what it is for?
Tell me why I'm seeing women listing things they achieved during their maternity leave? 🙄🙄
A lady said she started her nursing career, learnt coding, upscaled several skills etc. She said women should not lazy around while on mat leave rather they should learns skills, do professional courses that adds more value to them.
While This may seem like a good things, its not..this is adding more pressure to the several thr pressures that women carry and it should not be seen as normal.
My baby is weeks and I am still sleep deprived, severely exhausted coupled with other things. What i need is rest and a lot of sleep not thinking of one course or skill to learn.
Lets stop expecting so much from women especially new moms.
Una well done o
