[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember hustling pick up and drop off logistics with DH during our kids early years. Both of us had inflexible jobs. Very stressful and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

We are supposed to evolve. Just because I did it 15 years ago doesn’t mean today’s generation should have to as well. Why are Americans so infatuated with punishment?[/quote]

I didn’t get paid parental leave. I still remember begin so stressed about having to take leave for high risk pregnancy appointments while also saving my leave plus saving to take unpaid leave. I was much more junior in my career so I wasn’t making a ton and it was financially stressful trying to enjoy that time off after my babies were born.

And then when they started daycare and got sick I had barely any leave. DH and I were constantly comparing leave balances (he helped a lot too, so we were both dealing with low balances). Of course it also meant our sick leave went toward taking care of the kids and I’d drive into the office sick and just try not to get too close to anyone.

That was such a stressful time. I am glad fed employees now get paid parental leave. We should be making progress, the whole point is that we try to make the world better for the people after us just like the people before did for us.[/quote]
