[quote=Anonymous]I think that 12 weeks is usually fine for a healthy baby, especially for a mother who is going back to a white collar professional job. People in manual labor jobs have it harder, but that is true in things other than maternity leave as well. The bigger problem is making sure there is enough affordable, high-quality daycare available. I wouldn't be opposed to two weeks of sick/personal leave and two weeks of vacation for everyone, not just people with small children since everyone would like to be able to take a day off here and there without burning their only time off , but we have never allowed the government to dictate vacation/sick leave policies in general in this country. I don't see the current electorate voting into office a majority that would be in favor of that kind of government intervention. [/quote]
