[ID] 451 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] As a father of two young children, I have recently experienced life with newborn children. My wife has been lucky enough to receive paid maternity leave from her employer, but I had to use vacation days for time off. I can't imagine being in the situation of many families of having to juggle work responsibilities around the stress of caring for a newborn, with round the clock feedings, diaper changes, and crying. It is ridiculous that so few new mothers and virtually no new fathers receive paid leave. Nearly every other nation in the OECD grants paid leave automatically to at least new mothers, if not new fathers. If this nation truly cares about families, we need a law mandating paid maternity and paternity leave for at least three months. [Topic]
