Yes, youre viewed as less committed to your job. Big surprise, I'm sure there are exceptions out there but in my professional and private lives, every mom I have come into contact will say, " I realized, this(work) just doesn't really matter anymore." including some really hard working attorneys here. Yes, there is life outside of work, and family is important but wearing your non-committment on your sleeve will make others view you as , I don't know, LESS COMMITTED TO YOUR JOB. Duh, you can't have it both ways.
And, the moo suing for stress, what a crock, she had triplets and then twins, something tells me this is a fertility moo. She was having a hard time w/ conceiving in the first place, so carrying triplets would have been a walk in the park if it wasn't for the mean ol' employer???? Yeah, right. Moos want it all and cry up a storm if they don't get exactly what they want. They turn into brats themselves because they are DTMIJITW.
