My point exactly Rayray.

You shouldn't have to choose between family and work. There needs to be a system where you can have your family, and return to work when YOUR ready.

Obviuosly I dont have the answers!!

For some women I guess it is a big pay cut, but in areas like up here, without big corporations and Paid Maternity, the BB is a blessing.

I have a girlfriend who doesn't work, and pays $4.50 a day for CC, (100% ccb) and a family member who pays more than half her wage in CC fees.

It just seems so unfair... wer'e not looking after our mums.... and it really upsets me...
