FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY…or as they say in Sweden, fyrahundra åttio.

Here’s the rest of the infographic, if you’re so inclined (click to enlarge):

    The FMLA doesn’t help people who work for small businesses. My sister didn’t even get the standard maternity leave cause her company is so small. It also doesn’t guarantee pay, just a job. Sweden must be overrun with deadbeat breaders right?

    We can help with the commune by growing veggies! It really is sad that one of the most important events in a parent’s life, and they do not get to enjoy it. I think the U.S. sees childbirth more like a manufacturing business. Pop one out and keep it moving.
