You can't always wait. According to Mr. Tau, the woman he replaced was probably in her mid-to-late 30s and was having her first child. Prime child-bearing years are the same years as when one builds a career.

I really don't understand why a year off (or a 6 month/6 month split with the hubby) is such a great idea. Again, I think it's a bad thing if someone wants to move up. I have an aunt who went back to work almost immediately having her kids (and she had three!)
