I used to think new mothers had too many perks eg mat. leave. I was resentful picking up the slack. Before I went on maternity leave, my boss said "enjoy your vacation" I laughed at that thinking of all the time off. Fast forward, i haven't slept in 3 months and being at work was a lot easier than taking care of a newborn who only sleeps when he's being fed. I have to schedule in time for bathroom breaks and I'm washing/sterilizing bottles at 2am. 😢

Hear that. And it’s so hard to articulate what you do. Cause so much of it is just tending to this lump that does nothing but eat every 2-3 hours, which can take up to an hour each time, then poops liquid and pees about ten or twelve times a day, and then you have to do tummy time and put them to sleep, give them baths. They always soil their diaper as you’re about to leave the house. Then they’re hungry again. And by the time you get where you’re going you’ve put about two hours of work into getting there and have maybe an hour to enjoy yourself before the baby needs feeding and a change and wants to be held. I love my kids but I’m so glad this little guy I’ve been bouncing to sleep for 30 minutes now is our last

@@literaterose6731 Yes, thats correct I am not from the US I am from Germany. A friend of mine is pregnant at the moment. In Germany there are 14 Weeks maternity leave, 6 weeks before the date of birth and 8 weeks after that. Depending on your job in can be more, for example my friend is a nurse and because thats dangerous for the unborn baby she is not allowed to work. So she is in maternity leave since here third month of pregnancy. But it doesnt stop there. After the baby is born both parents can get "Elternzeit" which is "parental leave". The basic form is 14 Months but you can double it, but then you get less money. Speaking of money, the State got your back and depending on your normal income it covers 100% of your normal salary if you have a low income and 65% of your salary if you have a high income, because everybody should be able to spend time with their kids and see them growing up. In other European Countries its quite similiar and I dont understand why you US folks dont want that? I guess its because your polticians tell you thats communism? But its not, its just social and the right thing to do. Fight for your rights! It was a long journey to that in Europe as well.
