[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't buy this. I have a "traditional" marriage and my husband is wonderful and supportive to all his employees. In particular the women who have worked for him have fared well with promotions even though they have taken considerable time off on extended leave and some employers hold the 1-4 months women take off on maternity..even though they shouldn't.[/quote]

I find this hard to believe. Most businesses cannot survive with that amount of time off given to employees.  Furthermore, is he that gracious with men who want childcare leave? [/quote]

I am a different poster.  But I helped run a company where we provided 12 weeks of paid maternity leave.  The boss and I chipped in our own money to cover what our insurance did not.  His wife was a SAHM.  During that time we spread the work around.  Fortunately at our size we did not end up with multiple babies at the same time in the same position.

My wife has taken long maternity leaves.  It requires some juggling, but her company has made it work.  They use the maternity leave slot as a way to test drive someone they are considering for promotion.[/quote]
