Since having my kids, I wonder if accepted maternity leaves were longer more women would return to the workplace. It is HARD to leave a 12 week old in the care of other people (if you are lucky, a lot of people can only take six weeks). They are still little lumps completely dependent on you, just starting to smile and interact, and you still really want to be the one to take care of them but you have to hand them to someone else or quit your job. A lot of women are still physically healing, leveling out hormones too. I went back to work after my first and wanted to quit every single day until she was about six months old. The only reason why I didn't is because I was carrying insurance at the time.

This actually becoming a problem in the medical field. These people are taking up spots in residencies, fellowships, etc.

How does the majority of the working world who gives more generous maternity leaves keep on going?
One of the reasons why maternity leave is a negative now is that three months is actually a burden because it is too short a time to train a temp so companies don't bother and instead spread out the work to coworkers (with no additional pay). A year is a decent temp assignment opportunity for someone else to come in, get trained and get to work. And if the mom decides to not come back? Already have a person trained and in place. And if mom comes back but the temp was awesome, the company would probably find a place for the person anyway.

So one year is the right amount of time in your opinion?

Should fathers get one year of paternity leave as well?

I get 3 months paternity leave that I can spread out over the first 2 years of my child being born

My wife was once part of a medical school admission board, most medical schools receive more applications from equally qualified candidates than they have spots far. Having to decide among several students with pretty much equal GPAs and test scores is very common.

A year would be great, six months at least. And not talking about paid leave either or companies having anyone in the position, just the opportunity to come back at a similar position.
And I understand companies are there to make money, not fulfill "cake eating" but my thoughts addressed the points made about women not returning to the workplace after having kids.

Are men not returning to work after the birth of their children at the same rate as women?

Do we have a moron who thinks there is no affirmative action in med school applications?

You do realize how rare it is for men to even get paternity leave? That’s my point. Should they get a year? Are your OK with picking up the slack?

neurosurgery isnt a specialty you could quit for 5 years and just jump back into like its nothing

And further, women can decide to go back sooner. I have a friend who LOVES her job, went back a couple of weeks after having each of her babies. More power to her. I throw out a year because it is certainly a more ideal time to experience your new family/baby/yourself situation before deciding whether to stay home or go back to work instead of making a decision based on fears of the unknown in a very emotional and vulnerable time.

You’re making a really good case for justifying a gender wage gap and even companies discriminating against women of child bearing age in the hiring process.

Or work for an insurance company and deny hospitalizations, medications or treatments for the insured patient who's faithfully paid their premium only to find themself abandoned by their insurance company during a time of need.

I’ve got at least 6 friends with this exact same story. You are by no means the Lone Ranger.

Exactly. A nurse didn’t dedicate over a decade to just their education.
Your classmate’s life revolved around medicine for 15 years. Name another profession where someone dedicates that much time of their life before they actually start their career? And to only practice for a year before giving that up?
That’s just crazy.
Either she has a shite ton of student loans....then the husband should be pissed at being saddled with that.
Or....her family paid her way through school....then they should be pissed they wasted all that money on her.
