I believe you should still get some type of pay whether your full-time or part-time or whatever your…

I'm a stay at home mom because it's cheaper for me to stay home and take care of my children then pay a stranger to do it. I have a small crafting business but I will turn down orders if things are busy around the house.

well I don't have to pay for child care between my mom,grandma,and mother in law they do it for free. I'm talking about lights gas water phone bill @karnamarie

are you talking leave when you have a baby? if you have insurance thru your job then they should have a short term disability,that's what I used when I had my son it only paid about 60%of my check for 6 weeks but I still had income

I'm only part time and they don't give insurance to people who are part time @sarahdrew I go back in may

that stinks mama... I agree with you they should have paid maternity leave everywhere, no matter it you are full or part time, the electric company, the gas company, the phone company don't care if you just had a baby and are unable to work they just want their money

exactly and it doesn't help a week before I went off on leave my husband got fired @sarahdrew

Yeah I work in a restaurant and they offer me zero time paid and I actually have to reapply when I want to come back. It's shitty.

oh wow that is shitty! @shananaginsx

And I was actually full time too. I mean I know I pretty much have my job back if I want it but sucks to still have to a actually apply again but I'm prob not going back!!
