One of the reasons we have so many problems with our children is because since they are born many of them have to be cared by an institution. It is proved that children need their moms for the first 3 years of their lives. Many women would like to stay with their kids for at least the first year. There are Countries who support this and they have people without so many mental issues. Kids get to grow more secure, in an environment where there is someone like their mother with them. We should at least have the option for moms who want to stay home and raise better human beings without having to be worried for money. We have to give credit to stay at home moms, we have to understand their role matters and it’s one of the most important for the future of the people.
I propose that we find a way to extend the period of time off up to a year. 3 months is too short. I think we should be decreasing the amount of kids with mental issues, even with health problems like asthma and other things , if they get to be with their moms for at least a year.
I also think many women would want to have children if they help them with this.

I agree with the premise of your idea, although unfortunately federal paid leave beyond 12 weeks is not on the table right now. It’s an uphill battle given the current GOP trifecta.
Would you please consider my proposal? Among other things, it grants 12 weeks federal paid maternal leave, extends that option to full time working students, offers paid family leave for fathers in certain situations and also offers full time working parents the option to get 8 hours unpaid weekly time off once their paid leave ends.
