Just a little interesting fact for my readers who are moms or might want to be moms:
A lot of Czechs are stay-at-home-mothers. Why? Because they get 3 years maternity leave. Yes, you read correctly, and I didn't make a mistake in my translation from Czech to English on this topic. 3 YEARS! So you can have 3 children within 3 years of each other and get 9 years of paid maternity time.
Who wants to move to the Czech Republic now?
Wow. Wish our country were that supportive of motherhood! Of course I wish a lot of things...
ReplyDeleteI've heard a bit about European countries and mat/pat leave in general. And it sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I think it´s great! eventhough I think I could be ok with 2 years... few months ago I found out that maternity leave in Spain is 6months... that was surprise for me... :D :D yes, comparing to Czech rep. it´s really a little :))
ReplyDeletei think you should run for president and pass that as law
ReplyDeleteI know! Most European countries are like that.. aww. it is so good to dream.
ReplyDeleteWow. How can companies or the govt. afford all that leave?
