Maternity leave

madre's maternity leave lasted nearly 20 years. When our first child was born she stopped working outside the home and became a full time mother. Two more children followed. At the time she was making more money than I was, was better educated and had higher earning potential.

We learned how to do without a lot of extras, budgeted and made it work on a single income. And (you may want to sit down before you read this part) she doesn't feel cheated out of being fulfilled as a woman.

She was CEO of the household. The only glass ceiling she worried about was the skylight on the back porch.
