March 25 Mummies

Just saw the National Day rally - some great changes to encourage couples to start families. Extra 2.5 months in shared parental leave! I can’t help but notice that it only applies to births from April 1st onwards though. Feeling really bummed out as I’d be missing out on this by 2 weeks… anyone as bummed out as me? #firsttimemom #feelingbummed

Yes, is unfair right. We should be eligible too. They should implement from 1 Jan 2025 instead. It is enough to give companies to implement the changes needed.

While I wish I would qualify as a Mar 2025 mummy too, honestly, there is never a best date. They implement in Jan 2025, mummies in dec or nov 2024 will also ask for it. They implement immediately now, people who just have birth last month will also ask for it. I’m not trying to stand on the side of the govt, but honestly speaking, if you think from a policy perspective, it’s to encourage people to conceive. We already conceive so we are not the target group. The target group is for those who haven’t got pregnant to make babies after the announcement. So once they conceive, their EDD is from April 2025 onwards.
