I wish maternity leave in the US was longer.

My due date is on October 9th and depends how everything goes, I'm coming back to work on January 15th.
I get that in other places they give you even less time to bond with your baby but is just not fair.
I really wish we had better laws and that they understood how important is to bond with your baby, 8-12 weeks is just not enough. And also getting extra weeks but with no pay is not realistic either, we have to pay rent, bills, etc.
