“...six weeks of paid leave for families after the birth or adoption of a child.”
How generous of her...with other people’s money.
Also, bottom line is that the first 6 weeks of life could be done greatly by a nanny while the parent works. What is the point in staying home for 6 weeks when the baby will be sleeping or crying or eating?
What is essential is to be home with the child from 3 months to 5 years. Those six weeks hurt employers but don’t help the baby much.
