[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s called short term disability. Maternity leave is for mothers (though often we have to take STD).[/quote] +1. If you can't handle the stress of life without breaking down what you have is a mental health problem that needs treatment. Look into STD.[/quote] +1 I don’t mean to sound condescending or like a know it all mom, but when I went back to work after my first maternity leave, work felt like such a break. I work in a high stress field, yet it felt so predictable and manageable compared to maternity leave and the initial few weeks of zero sleep and some awful physical things. Please don’t imagine maternity leave as being like a vacation [/quote] My kid is 12 and I still feel some measure of relief on Mondays when I sit down in my quiet organized office where all I have to do is think about myself and my job!
