I started a new job. I cant find any info on maternity leave in the benefits given to me. Im a junior, 28 and unmarried. Are they just assuming I wont have kids? Im afraid to ask at this point.

Thank you for sending me the company benefits. I was wondering if I could also see the full benefits packet since I'm new and would like to have everything on file, including reimbursements,* disability,* and parental leave policies.

*substitute for anything they may not have already given you

I (36F) am married to another woman (34F) and we have a baby (5moF). We split all childcare, cleaning, meal prep, errands etc fairly evenly and it works well.

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.
