With both of my kids, I had a little bit of sick time, and I took a lot of unpaid leave just to take a few months off with them.
That’s a financial hit for sure, but you know, moms just need that time to recover physically, um, from birth and kind of transition into their new role as moms.
Being able to have that kind of support, um, and not be worried as worried about finances, not be as worried about, um, you know, what’s happening with your job and your position while you’re away.
I wish that, you know, that were true for moms as well as dads, you know, all kinds of all parents.
