[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compared to my male co-workers, the women in my office carry most of the mental load and do all of the emotional labor. This increased stress recently caused me to snap at the office and I started crying in front of some of my direct reports. I don't have children but could really use a 90 day break to fully refresh. I think all women should get something similar to maternity leave, even if they don't have kids. How can I go about making this a policy in my office ?[/quote] You didn’t have to state that you don’t have children, it’s obvious. Newborns feed an average of 8-12 times in 24 hours, and wake more often during the night than day. That was waking every few hours at night to nurse and then pump and clean the parts in my case.
