The journey has been really great actually documented and took pictures but I haven't had a bad time it is challenging being a single working mom. But I find myself more relaxed more laid-back just genuinely happy I think if I can take customers and adults being upset about communication problems I can change a dirty diaper.

I certainly don't want to be a helicopter parent and I don't want her to be a latch key kid like myself. &nbsp; Each parent finds their flow right now I'm taking it one day at a time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-leave-is-over-its-the-eye-of-the-tiger/page/2#post-1828792 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 18:52:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1828792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LeDonna, got to be grateful for what we have! In our case, it was 2 weeks, extended to three because he had jaundice. That short time didn't harm our relationship that I can tell. We are more closely attached than any other parent-child pair I know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-leave-is-over-its-the-eye-of-the-tiger/page/2#post-1828732 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 15:14:09 +0000 Ledonna N. 1828732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We love our print and color.&nbsp; lol I won't complain hearing that some don't get paid at all or other don't get any leave and have to quit or work through it.&nbsp; The system knows it is wrong and maybe one day it will be corrected.&nbsp; I will not hold my breath.&nbsp; I will just be thankful.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-leave-is-over-its-the-eye-of-the-tiger/page/2#post-1828682 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 13:54:33 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1828682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mommy &amp; me prints--awesome! </p> <p>Three months is so much shorter than many countries allow every child to have with their parents.
