[quote=Anonymous]If I could actually choose, I'd choose the systems they have in some Western European countries, where women have full right to economic participating as workers, but also the state recognize the necessity of providing care to young children and support to families, with lengthy parental leave, subsidized childcare, and often stipends to families to cover childhood expenses. I know people on here will freak out about this, and I also know that system isn't perfect either and that women in those countries still deal with some of the challenging choices between work and family. But I think it's better than we have here and is as close to equality as you can get given the biological differences between men and women when it comes to reproduction.

My ideal situation would be to be able to take a full year of maternity leave, work part time until my child/children is in kindergarten. My DH would also have liked a real paternity leave, especially if it could have come after our kid was 6 months (it is easier for men to bond with older babies rather than infants).[/quote]
