Changes in Maternity Benefits for Federal Employees - Blog Entry27 Apr 2008 02:41 AM Maternity systems need to change, ours in the UK is bad but it seems like heaven compared to other countries. Here one parent recieves 9months of paid maternity leave and their job is kept open while one parent recieves 6 weeks paid maternity leave. But here the government will pay one parent to stay at home until the youngest child is at school. We have the same system for adoption as well unless it is the adoption of a step sibling. Goverment is trying to make maternity leave at least a year at the moment. In other european countries there are two years of maternity leave which can be split up between the parents in anyway they so wish and of course it is paid, the UK is aiming to do this but with only a year. It is also planned to pass a law so babies have to be 10 weeks before they can be dumped into care and before mothers can do back to work.

How Much is the Tooth Fairy Laying Out These Days? - Blog Entry23 Apr 2008 10:17 AM When I was younger my mum always put the money under our pillow and a leaves on the bed to show the tooth fairy had been, we got 50p. We have only had to be the tooth the fairy once and we did the samething but we left £1 as you cannot even get a little plastic car for that amount of money, you can't even get two small chocolate bars. My mum still has a little box for each child full of little teeth. Friend or Parent to Your Child? - Blog Entry19 Apr 2008 04:01 AM I think you have to be both a friend and a parent, if you are just a friend your children are probably going to run amock, if you are just a parent they will probably think you are an evil strict witch. Infidelity: Insult and Injury - Blog Entry18 Apr 2008 12:24 PM If my husband had an affair or one night stand which resulted in a child and we were still together, I would never do anything that would be anti to the child, just because they were born into a poor circumstance doesn't give anyone the right to treat them as a lesser. That child may not be part of me, but it's part of him not matter who the mother is or how that child was concieved. If the best thing was for the child to live with us, then he/she would, if it was best that he/she lived with mum then that would happen and they would always be welcome in our home.
