I cannot believe that this country (USA) does not have better policies for maternity leave.
First it is unpaid… seriously. I will take care of my child and tell the bank to wait for mortgage payments because I am not getting paid.
Second, to even qualify for FMLA, we have to work at a company for 12 months! Pregnancy is only 9 months, so if you get pregnant in the first 2 months, good luck.
This is to protect companies who are making record profits. I work hard, I went to college, I pay my taxes. My company is full of people with MS and PhDs, but their policies are “according to the law”. WE MUST ASK FOR MORE!
I am so mad at every useless senator who thinks paid parental leave is not necessary. And so mad at Biden for not using Executive power…
How am I going to provide for my family? Fck this people making the rules and all the sheep who vote for them.
On to being another broke parent.
