Maternity Leave

On the T0day show, @merica vs. the w0rld on Maternity leave.

When I had Boo in daycare, I knew a woman from Germany who talked about Germany's maternity leave.  6 weeks paid pre-birth leave and 6 months pay for post-birth.  And they held your job for 6 years after you had the baby.  Sweden has the best where the mom and dad can leave and get 80% pay for 16 months.

We make a lot of progress in the US, but overall, I think the family gets left behind.   People make it that way and people accept it.  Business's don't care about their people, really.  And more time is spent at work than being with family.  Spent with co workers that could most of the time give a shit less about you.  There's got to be a better way than killing yourself trying to make the finances work.

Blah. 

In other news, I'm taking the Hyaluronic Acid supplement.  I can spell it (I think), not say it.  I'm feeling better and I don't know if it's that or not.  I have a feeling it's what is working because I'm just taking zoloft as a med and maybe 2 pain pills a day.  Whereas I was on Zoloft, Plaquenil, Methotrexate, Prednisone (once a month to hit a flare), Hydrocodone, Klonopin and Imipramine.

I'm taking Hyaluronic acid, magnesium for muscle pain, zoloft, an OMEGA 3 oil supplement and I think that's it.  I also have the TENS unit that helped my knee and might be helping with pain.  It's set on an alternating ZAPPING mode so that my body doesn't get used to it.  I've just had it 3 days and I'm not totally sure about it yet.

But the thing everyone is forgetting is that Germany and Sweden are dying off, they're population is DROPPING, they only do that because they want you to have babies, we don't have that problem and if you'd all like to be POORER then go ahead and get all socialist like that b/c their health care is worse than ours and they have a lower standard of living b/c they pay around 40-60% of their wages in Taxes. Just flush your money, its easier.

I couldn't agree with you more about maternity leave, well famiyl leave in general. As a society that values life and family, America has a long way to go.

I'm going nuts with no work to do, but I've worked my whole life. This will be the first time I've become a housewife because of choice. LOL I can't wait for school to start (MY school). LOL
