‘I think those mums are just looking for an excuse’
A OnlyFans model has labelled mums “lazy” if they don’t return to work as soon as possible after giving birth.
Jaelyn Cox, 29, welcomed her second child into the world last month, but returned to her career as a model and stripper as soon as she could.
She told the Sun that she returned to work “five days after giving birth” as she wants to give her children the best life she could.
Her decision to not take maternity leave didn’t go down well with her partner, who apparently wasn’t keen on the idea.
She’s encouraged other mums to follow her lead, labelling those who don’t as “lazy.”
She said: “I think those people are just lazy and looking for an excuse.
“I think it’s important to get back to your old life and back into a work routine.”
She also said that she didn’t want to let being a mum take over her life, as she believed it would impact her mental health.
She added that “getting to the gym the second week and dieting is a must” after giving birth, claiming that women “let themselves go after giving birth” which can cause their partner to cheat on them.
The fact of the matter is though, that for many women is simply not feasible for many women to return straight back to work after giving birth due to soaring childcare costs and the cost of living crisis.
According to the Trades Unions Congress, average monthly full-time nursery bills have gone up by more than £185 across England since 2010.
The average annual nursery bill for a family with a child under 2 was £7,212 in 2021, up from £4,992 in 2010.
And the OECD says that the UK now has the second highest childcare costs among leading economies.
On maternity leave, the NHS says: “When you’re pregnant, you’re entitled to up to a year of maternity leave.
“If you are employed and pregnant, you are entitled to 52 weeks (one year) of maternity leave, no matter how long you’ve worked for your employer.
“This is made up of 26 weeks of ordinary maternity leave and 26 weeks of additional maternity leave.”
