Elizabeth posted a picture of her first day back at work after giving birth to her daughter Bernie nine years ago. If you are a mom working outside of your home, you know the reckoning that comes at the end of maternity leave. We are twirling around those emotions and wondering why mothers and children are still fighting for more time together.
