[quote=Anonymous]It was hard! Limited paid maternity leave. You could take maternity leave but you had to have the leave in your bank to be paid for it. I had the max of 5 weeks of banked leave at my company and went without pay until the daycare could take my child at 6 weeks. But they met the "offer" of giving up to 12 weeks of maternity leave. Then there's all the years of work all day, catch up with family at night, hard to do any job that included any travel, etc. So my career took a back seat and now that I will be an empty nester at 55 trying to make up for those years that I stayed at the lowest level that I could balance work and family. If the pandemic had happened when my kids were young then I don't know what I would have done. I think I would have had to quit work. Things have definitely improved but I would guess there are still pockets of people that feel like they still struggle.[/quote]
