[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kindergelt - child money. Germans are ahead of us (again). State money goes to the child. Parent’s job is ‘leave without pay’ up to two years. Mom gets two years with child. Dad gets two years. Child at four then goes to kindergarten. Everyone wins. We are toddlers compared to the rest of Western Europe. [/quote] I remember a German friend saying that she is grateful that she is privileged enough to stay home with her toddler daughter and take care of her (and the daughter was still going to Montessori pre-k 3 times a week for a couple of hrs which cost 2k per month). Another German friend said that she wants to stay home with her child for at least 2 years and that was even before she was pregnant. I think as a society, they are more accepting of mothers staying home with kids and don’t look down on SAHM as much as the Americans do. [/quote]
