  • In Bulgaria we get 1year paid maternity leave at 100% of salary and a couple months of paternity leave of the mother absolutely has to go back to work. Grandparents are paid as well, if parents are too busy.

  • Thanks for giving us the info on Bulgaria! Always good to have more perspectives.

  • By the way, what was up with the end? Couldn't see anything...

  • My husband took it. He hated to leave his new baby and go back to work..

    I had to go on leave a few weeks before my baby came for health reasons and I had a c section and I was told I got 2 extra wks for that but my job said NOPE you have to come back 2 wks early because you left early. I thought that wasn't far. So I ended up quiting!!! YEAH! Hahaha

  • My maternity leave hasn't ended yet and my son is 8 years old. It won't end officially until he is 18. =)

    Dad took a couple months off though.

  • My husband is a fireman and took lots of time off to be with me and our newborn son. I was a stay at home mom, but had a part time job as a computer tutor (and kept that part time)

    My son comes first,

  • It is best for a parent to stay home as long as possible. Forming attachments for the first two years is important, especially the first 6-9 months. If their is not a sufficiant attachment formed, there can be many different kinds of problems with the child for the rest of his or her life.

  • I work for myself, so I guess my "leave policy" is entirely determined by mood from moment to moment. But when my daughter was born I turned off e-mail and phone for 7 solid days. I also completely ditched a Taiwanese client and ignored their frantic attempts to contact me during this time. They were really super pissed about that.

  • when I was still working, I took maternity leave, but my husband never took paternity leave.

    Of course, he works out of the home, so that made it a little easier, but the real help was from my mother in law... I love that woman.
