Then it is 6 weeks total between both of them). Abaya, is the time off where you are paid leave?

Whoa, missed this question awhile back... might as well answer it now... Yeah, the time off here (both maternal and paternal) is paid leave, 3 months for each parent and then 3 months to split between the two as they wish. They are even talking about lengthening it to 12 months (it's currently 9 total). Yes, this is a great country in which to have a baby. NINE MONTHS PAID LEAVE, including fathers! I don't see why every country isn't like this... seems to be a primarily Scandinavian model.
