6. I don't think things like breastfeeding were even on the radar, in the real old days.

And then even, like I said, in a relatively progressive area back when ours were little, we had to do a tremendous amt. of logistical juggling, to make it work. Including no small measure of "meet in the parking lot during the lunch break, with the baby" type stuff.

I agree 100%, though- corporations and our society in general need to be more family-friendly. Not in the "I saw a nipple during the superbowl" sense, but in the sense of better, European-style family leave, more flex time, comprehensive benefits, more accommodation for parents with little kids.
