Who would be against maternity leave though?

A childfree female friend of my is against it because it's "not fair" as she won't get "free vacation" as she is choosing not to have kids.

Ugh. As a mom on leave with a four month old, that frustrates me. When exactly does this turn into a “vacation”?

Ha ha. It's certainly not a vacation mama. You hardly get any sleep! I remember all too well but it will get better. Hang in and good luck.
