[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have disability insurance? For some companies that's standard and pays 2/3 of your salary for 6 or 8 weeks. [/quote] +1 The state of paid leave for new parents in this country is just so unacceptable. OP, even after I joined our school's sick leave bank (which means donating two days of your own sick leave in order to be eligible to apply for more time) I found out that I wasn't eligible for using it because I'm not the birth mother - I'm the non biological mother (we are a same sex couple). I thought it was ridiculous that I donated my time like everyone else, yet I couldn't use the leave because I wasn't the one who gave birth. If my wife had needed me/my assistance because of C-section recovery, etc., I would've just had to take unpaid leave (and I did actually for our first child). But yes, I'd look into short term disability leave.[/quote]
