i'll do you one better daemon.

i am expecting and i get a newsletter every few days about different pregnancy topics.

maternity leave in most every other country is a guaranteed full pay event. i believe australia offers 6 MONTHS of paid maternity leave.

i have a degree, i work 40 hours a week, i never call in, i work overtime, and i do not have maternity leave. i have short term disability that covers 6 weeks at 60% pay. i am having to skip all my vacation time (im due in November) and sick time and hope it covers that whole 6 weeks...

i know right? i may have to dip into that 401k for a while...our government is so screwed up...i would do better (money-wise) quitting my job and getting on welfare! it is not supposed to be that way!!

one of my childhood friends has 3 girls. her girl's father is serving a nice chunk of time at our local prison. she nets over 2k a month in daycare help, food stamps, section 8, medicaid, and just a good ol fashioned welfare CHECK... i know for a fact that if she were paying out of pocket for what she is getting, she would have to work 3 jobs.

...and i think this may be the last baby for me! cant afford anymore!
