[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 1st year should be paid maternity leave 6 months for recovery and 6 months for bonding, dads/partner get 6 months. That can add up to 12-18 months however parents choose to use it. 
No infant should be put into childcare unwillingly. This should only be an allowable for the first two pregnancies that result in live births and paternal benefits are limited as well. It's too important a developmental period. FMLA should protect through 2 years. 
This is a good balance. No one should be out of the workforce and be subsidized for it for 5-20 years. Get a legal agreement for benefits from your spouse related to missed pay or retirement beyond those 1-2 years. [/quote]

If they’re SAHPs they often weren’t even in the workforce in the first place. [/quote]

Show me some stats on that considering most women aren't having children until mid to late 20s[/quote]

You realize mid to late 20s is just out of BA/MA/Law school. I know plenty who never touched an actual job. And no - 9 hours a week as a pilates instructor does not count. They went straight from dad's house to boyfriend's apartment to married and not working.[/quote]

And I dont know a single person who has never had a "serious" job by 25. See how this works. Show me data. There would be income limits to the above btw. No SAHP with a spouse making 500-800k per year needs government assistance to figure out their situation. They already have a pre-nup and will get X amount in a divorce or separation and likely X amount of retirement. I recently saw a reddit where the boyfriend was pissed because his gf wanted costs paid for having their child. They were in a LTR not married and they both make 175. She wanted her remaining salary that wasnt covered by disability or parent leave split between her and her bf and he was pissed and thought it was weird.

People graduate from bachelors at 21/22. By 32, when we had our first, my DH had been working for the government for 10 years. My BF has a 4 year old and has been teaching since 21 and is 35- 14 years. She is almost eligible for a full pension in a few years.
