[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the people who this is just about bean counting or money, I'd like to see you address the inequality issue. That is the question here. You are addressing this only on the most shallow level and not looking at the real issue. [/quote] She chose the inequality. She chose to stay home for four months, knowing full well even before mat leave started that meant reduced income. She didn't discuss this at the time with her husband. She could have gone back to work after a couple weeks to maintain financial equality if that is the priority. After the fact she suddenly remembered it wasn't fair and that she didn't have income and asked husband to now pay her for staying home. That isn't really about equality. Equality would have been having the conversation before hand when she knew she was about to make a decision as to how long to go without income for. Deciding together how that would be managed.[/quote]
