There was a baby boy of a neighbour who seemed to try to keep his mum at home. It went like this: through the difficult pregnancy, mum took maximum medical leave. It was a long and drawn out labour. Mum took no pay leave to care for infant. After a few months, junior was passed to the care of a trusted babysitter. Mum went back to work. Junior started sleeping during the day and kept awake at night demanding for frequent change of nappies and attention. Mum fell ill through insufficient sleep and stayed home. Junior went back to regular and normal sleeping pattern.
After a few bouts of exhaustion, mum quit her well paid job. It was hard to believe, the toddler now eats well, sleeps normally and is finally thriving. Of course now he has a stay-at-home mum.
