We are lucky here, in California, to grant paid family leave. It’s unconscionable to me that the “powers that be” seem to have always thought 6 weeks was plenty of time for a mother to recuperate and bond with her baby. It’s absurd, of course. Fathers also need a much needed break from work. Sleepless nights cause anxiety and depression. Being able to cope with having a child requires dividing the chores and getting much deserved rest.
Congrats to Washington and I’m certain your influence had a lot to do with that!
