[quote=Anonymous]I did not get married until my 30s. Educated, successful, traveled a lot. I was very happy as a single professional. Got married and had kids in my 30s. Life changes. I kept working, kids were in daycare, my husband does a lot of the load but it’s wasn’t always 50/50. I think I did a lot of the lifting when the children were little. He really stepped up as the children got older. And I think this is fairly common. It is hard to compare this to the European model where many nations have much longer maternity leave. Maternity leave here is a joke. And since no company staffs with the expectation that a certain percentage will be on maternity leave, coworkers end up picking up the load and being resentful (particularly men, but sometimes women, particularly women that don’t have children).
