Gosh u are so lucky man! 2 years is awesome & very lucky! Is it paid leave? Well I will be home for about 5 months total adding up all my leave, vacation days...etc....also my state offers "leave to Bond with Baby"......
afro sheen, you only get 5 months maternityl leave?! wow. that's almost close to nothing. and you're saying the 5 months includes your vacation and other leave days?
and i'm guessing if you want to take additional days off, they're unpaid?
here in canada you get one year maternity leave, regardless of what company you work for. i say move to canada :D
