When women have babies right after birth, they get a YEAR off to bond with their child and by law, employers pay them during that time off..but at a partial rate, 70-80% of their salary for the year however employers cannot fire them during this time off either. and it could be the father who takes the time off too if he wanted to instead of the mother but that's rare. In the united states mothers only get 2-3 WEEKS at most to bond with their child and after that they must find arrangements asap and pay for babysitters after that...and those 2-3 weeks are UNPAID too!

DarkTransient 07/01/18 6:29:47 PM #4:	A year is excessive. 2-3 weeks is ridiculously short. A few months, maybe even half a year, is good. With the qualifier that if they do not return to the job afterwards, they forfeit (or must repay) what they were paid for the time off - so that people who intend to quit the job and be a stay-at-home parent can't just get a huge payout for nothing. --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAfJB3KYYDg <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:904317471] in Did you kn...
