[quote=Anonymous]We Americans don't value parenting as high as working. We're all conditioned to think this way so anything else sounds so luxurious. I have friends who are expats abroad in Europe and Asia and all have had babies there where they have very generous maternity leaves compared to U.S. It's true some of us are lucky - I got 4 months paid, and took another 2 months unpaid, with both kids but that's because we could afford to do so. It's sad to read the comments by other moms who don't think they deserve any better whether its from their employers or the govt.[/quote]
