[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thanks.   This is kind of my philosophy.  I think traditionally women have accepted the notion that pregnancy is a disability that prevents us from performing in a way similar to men, and therefore accepted whatever shitty arrangement we are given OR you just drop out of the workforce because you have not found a company that will provide you with the lifestyle you need to raise your child.  I am (at the moment) in the latter category.  Although I have over 12 years of experience in my field, I wasn't able to find a position that provided me the salary and hours that would allow me to take care of my high needs child.

I had planned to just have another baby and return to work when maternity leave was no longer an issue but this opportunity literally fell into my lap and it seems interesting.  However that being said, I'm not willing to sacrifice my family for the job.

I feel like maternity leave (like any other benefit) should be negotiated at the time of offer.  And if the employer is hostile, its probably not worth taking.  [/quote]
