Happy Mother's Day (John Oliver)


Watching that video was quite entertaining.  It is a shame that is taken so long to push legislation to have women acquire longer paid maternity leave.  This reminded me of my wife's pregnancies and how she basically worked till the very day when she had to give birth.  Once she had given birth, she was off for about 6 weeks.  Weeks that seem to go in a blink.  We were fortunate enough that we had help from family in caring for our newborn while she returned to work.  As the video suggested, I could picture the struggles new mothers face with while returning to work with such a short down time.  More should be for them.
