This is her job. It has nothing to do with QVC having heart or smarts. She was hired to do a job, and she's doing it. It's certainly possible to have a time-consuming job and also be a mother. Women have been doing that for decades.

It's condescending to women to say that she needs extra time off because she traveled and has children. Men travel and have children, and it's no different. Plenty of people come back from business-related travel all the time and go right back to work.

Amy's husband is a stay at home dad, so this alone really frees up Amy's time to be able to work, and travel for work when necessary. When you're a television personality, you have to strike while the iron's hot.

I don't think QVC's "heart" has anything to do with it. The kids are home with daddy, and in good hands. Most of the other female hosts are mothers, too. So what? They still need to go to work.

I think they just built a house too.

@fthunt Amy gives new meaning to the title of "busy mom". Her work schedule does seem a bit much; she must have a supportive hubby.

Biting the bullet on this one. How pathetic!!!!!

Just because someone is a mother doesn't mean they do not have to do the job they were hired for. Taking a job like this is a choice. To think any company should not require a mother to do the job she was hired for is setting all women back. A man has to do what is required in his job.

Not just Amy. There are a lot of us working moms who travel and have job expectations. Nothing different than a lot of people.

Wise up! I think Amy really wanted to get back in time to host the LOGO show, so the sales figures $$$$$$$ for that show didn't go to the credit of another host. She took the redeye she said - it was perfectly do-able.

If her husband is home with the children, I think that's fine. I assume she makes a lot of money and made more money than her husband when he worked. I call on quite a few female physicians whose husbands stay at home with the children. The women are career minded and make more money.

I am sure Amy gets a lot of time off and spends time with her children. She seems like a great mother. She's not my favorite host, but she's passionate, and she obviously has high sales or she'd not be garnering the peak time slots and the highly watched shows.

I still don't understand why Courtney doesn't get better time spots. I think she's stylish, adorable and a good host. It baffles me. Her sales may not be as high but perhaps they'd be if she got better time spots and could show her talent.
