We are such hypocrites in this country. We pretend to be all about families but we're not. You don't have to have a child to know that a few weeks/months is not enough time to settle in with your new baby and family.

I think if we looked at maternity leave as being a family thing and not a woman thing, things might change. In Germany for example (the company I work for is based in Germany), mommies get a whole year of paid maternity leave while our female employees in the states get 12 weeks total.
