43. Oh grow up, that's not what I said.
Edited on Sun Aug-19-07 02:06 PM by VLC
I was just pointing out another effect. Of course I don't want mothers to pop them out and go right back to work. But stop pretending this doesn't affect single people.

Staffing problem or not. But how many of us could be replaced effectively by a temp?
