Hello Fellow Tumblr Bloggers

Its been a while that I have really gotten on this app. I have kind of been through a lot in the last two years.

Since we last may have "talked" I have become a mommy to a beautiful baby boy. Im currently on maternity leave but am scheduled to return next week to what may be a very stressful job more than when I left it. My job was audited while I was on maternity leave and apparently it didn't go well and were set to close. They appealed the decision and have gotten a 90 day extension and another chance for another audit to redeem themselves with their plan of correction.

I was devastated initially that i would be laid off but i still have a job during the extension so I guess i will go back. I was very blessed to be able to have taken 5 months off. 4 months being with my boy.

It hasn't been easy. After having my son i got admitted for postpartum preeclampsia which i have ptsd from but i am happy to be alive.

I think I will write about my experiences as a first time mom at the age of 41. It definitely brings a different perspective to motherhood I am sure. Also most of my friends are moms and thier kids are going to college so as you can see we are on different chapters haha

I do hope everyone is doing great!

Please ignore the US-centric and negative slant in the headline--tumblr doesn't let you edit link previews anymore!

But this is good news!

A majority of the world's countries now offer paid paternity leave.

"Sixty-three percent of countries around the world provide guaranteed paid parental leave for fathers, according to a report out Tuesday morning from the World Policy Analysis Center.

Why it matters

Though support is growing for paternity leave, there's still a stigma attached to men who take time off to care for their children. Yet, studies find numerous benefits for the economy, for fathers, and for their partners.

"There is widespread recognition that we don't solve gender equality without dads getting leave," says Jody Heymann, founding director of the policy center and a UCLA distinguished professor of public health and public affairs.

The big picture

Back in the 1990s, only 46 countries had a paid leave policy for fathers, largely high-income nations, per the policy center's data. Now the number is nearly three times as high."

For the second time in as many years, the Senate Education Committee’s chairman and other lawmakers are trying to pass a paid maternity leave bill for teachers.

Part of Sen. Adam Pugh’s education agenda, SB 364 would require districts to provide 12 weeks of paid maternity leave for teachers, the bill and Pugh’s education agenda come as the House has already passed its own education plan that does not include a maternity leave requirement for teachers.

“I honestly can’t think of a more pro-life thing that we can do in this body than support moms who just had a baby,” Pugh (R-Edmond) said in a committee hearing Feb. 14. “When I start to look at what most civilized nations around the world are doing, they’re doing significantly more than 12 weeks.”

If passed, the legislation would put Oklahoma ahead of many other states regarding teacher benefits.

While teachers qualify for the Family and Medical Leave Act, a national law passed by Congress in 1993 that requires employers to provide employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year, only 13 states and the District of Columbia have paid parental leave laws, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington, D.C., think tank. Oklahoma is not one of those states currently.

For teachers specifically, an Education Week article from August indicates that only a “handful” of states provide paid maternity leave for teachers.

Of the states that border Oklahoma, only Missouri and Colorado have paid parental leave laws for teachers. Arkansas, Kansas and New Mexico governors have all signed executive orders providing parental leave to employees of state agencies, but those orders do not apply to teachers.

Supreme Court of the United States Syllabus for Jo Carol LaFleur v. Cleveland Board of Education, et al.

Record Group 15: Records of the Department of Veterans AffairsSeries: Case Files of Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Applications Based on Revolutionary War Service

(slip opinion) - top right: 42 USC § 1983 Public Teachers - Mandatory Maternity Leave, Due Process NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released as is being done in connection with this case, at the time of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States vs. Detroit Lumber Co., 200 U.S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus CLEVELAND BOARD OF EDUCATION ET AL. v LaFLEUR ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT No. 72-777. Argued OCtober 15, 1973 --- Decided January 21, 1974* Pregnant public school teachers brought these actions under U. S. C. § 1983 challenging the constitutionality of mandatory maternity leave rules of the Cleveland Ohio (No. 72-777), and Chesterfield County, Virginia (No. 72-1129(, School Boards. The Cleveland rule requires a pregnant school teacher to take unpaid maternity leave five months before the expected childbirth, with leave application to be made at least two weeks before her departure. Eligibility to return to work is not accorded until the next regular semester after her child is three months old. The Chesterfield County rule requires the teacher to leave work at least four months, and to give notice at least six months, before the anticipated childbirth. Re-employment is guaranteed no later than the first day of the school year after the date she is declared re-eligible. Both schemes require a physician's certificate of physical fitness prior to the teacher's return. Each Court of Appeals reversed the court below, one holding the Chesterfield County maternity leave rule constitutional, the other holding the Cleveland rule unconstitutional. Held: 1. The mandatory termination provisions of both maternity rules violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Pp. 6-15 (a) The arbitrary cutoff dates (which obviously come at different times of the school year for different school teachers) have no valid relationship to the State's interest in preserving continuity. *Together with No. 72-1129, Cohen v. Chesterfield County School Board et al., on centiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. [full transcription at link]

The best way I can describe returning to work after being on maternity leave:

It’s like you’ve went into a wardrobe, lived a life in Narnia, and came back.
