I really wish there was a major push to make maternity/paternity leave a minimum 3 years by law where your job is guaranteed. Or at least let a mother or father work from home if their jobs can be done remotely. The focus is on child care when it should be on keeping the child with a parent.

A 3-year maternity/paternity leave guaranteed by law sounds so completely crazy and unworkable to me that I think I must be misunderstanding what you mean. Before I start pelting you with objections that might be based on a misunderstanding, do you want to fill in a bit more detail on how you envision such a policy working in practice?

Well they already offer it in some places in Canada and the EU. Canada Post offers 5 years. Not all of it is paid but there is a portion that is.

Best city on the planet affording anything less would be a shame and a sadness. Yes. Yes yes yes. Yes NY should.
