I think its ridiculous...I am 100 percent with you. I think its ridiculous that we can't get some kind of paid leave. Those of us who have to go back to work or loose our jobs that we have no choice but to keep for whatever financial reason we have may hardly get any time with our new babies. And what if the baby has to stay in the hospital or the nicu and we get no time with them. Its sad. My boss was very kind enough to atleast give me 6 weeks paid leave and I feel like thats nothing although I'm very grateful for it, its just not enough time. So thanks for posting this one. Its definitely needed here in the U.S. Also, Although its an equal work field for men and women I think most men who have wives and kids would understand and support the paid leave for there wives to be able to spend more time at home with a new baby.Meant to be a momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593510601585009840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098769332373266408.post-66692349452412522052009-08-06T16:45:32.017-04:002009-08-06T16:45:32.017-04:00thats for the info!!thats for the info!!Hoping for our own Peanuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585572867929161179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098769332373266408.post-81258759371279334342009-08-06T15:33:27.173-04:002009-08-06T15:33:27.173-04:00Thanks for sharing it...
