Ibolya - I'm curious, if paid maternity leave is 3 years, then if a mother has another child before the 3 yrs is up, then the clock starts again with the birth of the second or third baby?  My babies have all been a little less than 3 yrs apart so if I lived where you did, I'd have been on paid maternity leave non-stop since August 2000 when my first was born.   Or do mothers in your part of the world tend to have children spaced really far apart and many go back to work for a time before having the next baby?  What a great idea!  My youngest (baby #4) is 10 months old so by the time she turns 8, I'd have been on maternity leave for 18 years straight.  WOW!
