[ - ] I know this topic has been beaten to death but I need some advice. Had a baby 5 months ago and went back to work 2 weeks ago: I can't help but want to be home with my baby but I am so conflicted. I work 6 hours, 3 days a week and we have a nanny. I love my job and being able to get out of the house but of course I want to be a "perfect" mom who is always there for her kids. How do you make it all work? 13 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Not sure what the stats are but I had zero issues at 42. Of course fertility decreases with age but honestly I think the main reason you don't see more women in their early 40s having kids is they are on birth control and aren't trying... Good luck to your sister! [ Reply | More
