Ml is our entitlement, and if after having kids our priority changes like maybe you've decided to put kids first instead of work, and if you and your partner can manage with just one income. Why not? Or maybe some of us want to look after our lo till they start schooling then we start working? It's fine too. Dont let your employer tell you what to do or what's right and wrong. Because the truth is? With or without us, the company will still go on.
