      Do you you have a story to tell about a time when you really needed #paidleave but didn’t have it? Or a time when you did have #paidleave, and it helped your family or your business? I'd love to know—tell me in a reply! #FMLA25

      Yes! My dad just had surgery and because of #paidleave I was fortunate enough to take three weeks with the flexibility of being off or working remotely to help my mom out while he began recovering. Everyone should have that flexibility without worries #FMLA25

      March 2016, hubby in awful snowmobile accident, he couldn't use his hips for 3 months. I used the sick leave I'd built up as an elem teacher to tend to him. #paidleave helped us

      As an untenured teacher, I had to plan my baby around my summer. I could only afford 4 weeks unpaid FMLA. For my 2nd, I was tenured- 8 weeks paid after a c-section and I took 4 unpaid FMLA. This was a $ strain, and it impacted my seniority. It shouldn't. New moms need more time!

      I had a delayed start date to a new job of 14 weeks. But my husband got 12 weeks of paid family leave. It made a huge difference in the well being off our family financially but more importantly emotionally. #PaidLeaveMeans #DadGetsToBondToo

      It’s clearer than ever that paid family and medical leave is good for working families and for businesses. Let’s finally guarantee paid leave to every American worker by passing the #FAMILYAct.

          You mean the act where people pay themselves buy borrowing against their own social security? Why not have businesses pay like all of Western Europe and Canada?

          What’s our national debt & deficit? Socialism is a spectrum, and we are far, far away from it.

          Sure - follow Obama's redistribution of wealth and massive regulations, which prevented small business start -up and bigger businesses from affording new hires. Dems are socialists - and take a look at what the economy does under them.pic.twitter.com/aqeEk3Yr3I

          All parents get tons of benefits at singles and childless who dont OVERPOPULATE expense esp with 450k kids in foster care.Childless are last to get any safety nets too so pay the most for least. No child tax credits, dont use costly public schools but we can go without healthcare
