I really appreciate the time you've taken to weigh this one out. And I agree with your synopsis. As a Chiropractor/Craniosacral Therapist/Author,(on the subject), I don't think its 'cheesy' at all to suggest parenting is an important part of society and deserves to be supported. Science, psychology, and retrospective analysis concludes that contact with parents is a baby's best bet for a start to a healthy life with wonderful perks for parents too. Indeed, well-said.

I am working in a union job as an RN, and the 22,000 odd dollars is hardly going to cover my life's expenses at the end of May, when monkey # 3 arrives into our life. My Husband has his own business, and doesn't qualify for paternity leave. The great news is, and I truly believe this is the legacy of our generation of women, is that I am willing to be creative in our approach to working, finances and childcare, and I have a dedicated, creative partner who is willing to do whatever he needs to make sure our lives/dreams continue. We will make it happen!, and certainly not because I'm relying on the government for help. Yahoo for supportive partners! Well said!
