Working 9 to 5 without a child is challenging but add a newborn to the mix and sometimes it's unbearable. The hardest part isn't usually the lack of time to yourself or sleep deprivation. It's leaving your kid with someone else and missing on that experience that gets many moms down.
Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis discussed going back to work since the birth of her daughter Jade. The pint size Italian cook said:
I thought I would be so excited to get back to work, but I feel bad that I'm leaving her. She's out of the 'blob' stage of just eating and pooping. She's starting to become a person; I see her character and personality coming out. And now I won't be around that much.
Luckily, the chef will be able to spend more quality time with baby Jade as she starts taping her new show Giada at Home in her home base, Los Angeles. I have selfish reasons for being happy about the mamacita's return to the cucina. Giada is coming out with a new cookbook, Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites that will have a chapter of family friendly delilicious recipes that wee ones can enjoy!

I'm excited for her new show!
1I don't like it when people refer to babies as blobs. I think it dehumanizes them. It really struck me when I was reading the transcript.
2I think it's dehumanizing to use "kid." I don't know why, but "leaving your kid" rather than "leaving your baby/beloved child/etc" really rubs me the wrong way.
I wonder if Giada will get as much crap for using "blob" as Angelina did.
3I love Giada! Hope she returns with a strong new show...
4I'm with ElizabethRae. It struck me, too, when she referred to her daughter as a blob. I am sensitive about language, so maybe for me, it's about that.
I knew someone who used to refer to babies as "it." For some reason, she used the improper pronoun. She would say,"It's smiling." I would correct her, and say,"SHE'S smiling." It was odd.
5She didn't really call her daughter a blob, just that newborn stage the blob stage. And it seems as more of a lack of a better word phrase.
6It was good to see Giada back on the Today Show this week. I look forward to watching her new show in the future.
7I think she looks great!
8She never really seemed excited to have a baby, just in interview she always seemed really down about the whole thing.
I love her food, but I dunno...
9She seems to have everything balanced now.
