In our everyday lives we all have to find our own ways to balance our career and our family lives. Being that I am a single mother of a 4 year son and work a full-time job, I know the importance of finding a solid balance between the two. One way that I balance between my job in contrast to my family life is I try to leave work problems at work and home problems at home. I have found in the past that interfering one with the other can cause you to lose focus on the task at hand, whether it be a task at the job and a home problem that you are having is the only consuming your mind or vice versa.

One of my reasons for feeling this way is that every job I have worked has been able to accommodate the schedule I needed for my family arrangement.

I think the companies should be able to determine up to how much time they will cover for the woman being out of work for maternity leave but should at least be required to cover the general 6 weeks suggested by most physicians for child birth recovery. I do not think that the U.S. government should have to assist companies in paying for this coverage; it should be included in the offer to hire for all women. I think that it is the company’s responsibility to pay for the maternity leave for women because it should be viewed as right for being that we are the only ones with the ability to bear children as I stated
