[quote=Anonymous][quote]But it would never occur to me to ask to be "reimbursed" for my maternity leave or some portion of it. My husband is not my insurer. It seems to me you are basically asking him to take no income in place of you having no income. Why is it more fair for him to take a hit than for you to take a hit? Does he make twice as much as you? That would be the only circumstance that would make sense. [/quote] Seriously? She took the time off to be be with THEIR child. Not HER child. They should share the sacrifice. If he didn't pay all of the household expenses during this period of time, then it's not a shared sacrifice. Perhaps OP should have discussed this with her husband prior to having a child, but I don't blame her for not doing so. It's easy to live 50/50 until a kid comes in and the definition of 50/50 changes. [/quote]
