Here in Canada both parents can take time off for a total of 1yr, & NOT loose their status/pay/etc at their job. The mother doesn't have to take any time off at all. The father can do that. The mothers choose to stay at home for the whole year.

I had heard that, and I think **most** other countries are a bit more 'forgiving' to people that choose to have children. I love being American. I love being female, and a mother. However, when I see what happens to kids in our society, I do wonder where we went/go wrong. Maybe, just maybe, there is something to the theory that children need their moms/dads during the formative years.

Its a punishment issue, not so much as to where the parents are(mom was with me for 6mths, that was the law back then).. later on I only saw my mom for a few mins in the mornings, & then saw dad before bed. I only got to spend time with them on weekends...

Parents don't punish/correct their kids when they do something wrong. They are left to do what they want, so thats what they do. they are left unguided & not use to obeying rules. So the teachers are forced to parent the kids & all hell breaks loose. Kids rebels, & gets into drugs & other crap.

I was only spanked when I did something really bad, that could really hurt me... I remember being spanked(didn't happen often at all.. maybe 3 times) & never did that stuff again. When I was being a tit, I was sent to sit on my bed for 30 mins.

But thats totally off topic, so I'll stop.
