[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's pretty telling that the wife doesn't have the leave to go on this trip without pain but the husband does. I wonder who takes leave when the baby is sick or daycare is closed. I wonder how the answer to that reflects the distribution of responsibility for parenting in that family.[/quote] We share it 50/50. Her work's maternity leave wasn't great, so she used some of her vacation days to be able to stay home longer with the baby. Blame her employer and our society for not mandating more guaranteed maternity leave, not me. In Canada, most women are off of work for one year.[/quote]
