In reply to llawrence.

I disagree strongly with that. It is not normal or typical for US women to be "MIA for at least 9-10 months" after child birth. In most states, maternity leave only pays you for 6 weeks to 12 weeks max (ie 2 months at most is the average) before you have to return back to work. For independent contractors like Chyna there is no maternity leave so you either work or get paid $0. I am independent contractor and after I gave birth I went back to work after 2 months. Me working has nothing to do with being a good mother or being a wife. Even super rich people like Beyonce get back to work a couple months after child birth (she probably starts planning work projects and is working on her body immediately after the child birth).
