[ID] 572 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] I took 12 weeks of unpaid leave to be with my baby when she was born in 2007, this was unbelievably difficult for my family because I was the one who made the most money. To this day we pay for my daughters birth through medical bills, and I continue to pay off credit card debt incured during that time. If paid leave was available, I would have been able to support my family a little while longer and our quality of life would have been better. For my daughter's sake I hope she choses to have her children in Europe where women are allowed to take care of their children for at least their first year w/out having to pay an obscene amount for that.
