Sorry bitch, but WTF does that have to do with maternity leave --- unless you think it should go on for 3 or 4 years??? A good number of people in the comments think she's a selfish ass but too many are all "it's a moo thing" or "As a moo, I understand) Turn them all into hamburger if you ask me. LINK2Quote
Tomorrow, I will wipe away tears, pull toddlers off of my legs, unclench tiny, little fingers from around my neck and pass over a very new baby. I will not be able to kiss boo boo's that happen throughout the day. I will not be able to lay the babies down for their naps. I will not be able to feed my newborn when she cries for me.
Once again, I will have to try to pretend Mommy isn't hurting or an emotional wreck inside and make my best attempt to put on a brave face for the sake of my babies. But knowing myself, no matter how courageous I strive to be, undoubtedly, tears will stream down my face. My children will see the pain in my eyes. Despite my best efforts and complete preparation, tomorrow morning will be terrible.eyes2:Violin:BS

Read both articles. She has a lot of God shit in her writing. What a surprise. Also, I thought most public school teacher get paid maternity leave. Even at my job you get paid maternity leave.
She's gross.

And she probably voted as right as she possibly could, even though it the most -liberal- countries that generally allow longer mooternity leave and better options for childcare.

Today, I can't thank God enough for tuning me in to my maternal instincts, because without a doubt, I knew there was one more child to come... someday.

That is one of the reasons I married him, because I knew how much family meant to him and what kind of parent he would be.

I like the response that went something like:
Dear Moo, Sorry to hear about your problems but you people just voted in a bunch of republicans. Good luck with that!

I truly do not understand the rationale behind paid cow leave. People say the U.S. is one of three countries without it like it's a bad thing. One should not feel entitled to be paid for work one did not perform. If pahrunts feel forced to choose between affording child care and staying at home they were not in a position to breed in the first place.

Yes, I have toughened up. Yes, I am thankful I have a job. And yes, I do have a wonderful schedule as a working mother.

So I ask you, Mr. President, why is the United States the only developed country without laws providing paid maternity leave? In fact, why we're one of the only countries without any paid maternity leave?

But, Mr. President, wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to be a gladiator... just yet?

Based on informal personal observation - many on both the far right and far left tend to have extremely breederific or breeder-pleasing tendencies.

Right wingers say that God will provide.
Left wingers say that government will provide.
Both are breeders and both expect someone else to pay.

But actually, I prefer the In Case Shit Happens year of paid leave. That is there as a safety net for the shit that you can't and don't see coming. If you're diagnosed with cancer or get hit by a car and have to have your leg amputated, you have a year of paid leave in case you have to travel for treatment as well as being able to rest and not have to worry about work and not have a paycheck coming in. If a loved one falls ill or is injured, you have that leave to take care of them. I believe workers would be more effective with that peace of mind.
