Remember that time when Marissa Mayer made headlines for 1) getting hired by Yahoo to be their new CEO, 2) announcing that oh-by-the-way, she's pregnant, and 3) adding that she'd be taking just the teensiest working maternity leave -- remember that craziness? Well, Marissa has come out the other side. She's had her baby, she's still CEO of Yahoo, and yeah, that maternity leave was super short. Also? Just so you know, slacker moms? She says her baby is totes easy. Okay, deep breath everyone. I know a lot of us want to storm Yahoo headquarters with flaming torches and pitchforks over her high-powered working mom nonchalance. Why, parenting a baby! It's so easy! I could do it in my sleep! You know, the three or so hours I get every night? Oh don't worry, there's plenty of fury being directed at Marissa Mayer right now. But you know what? Maybe she's on to something.![]()
