Are Burned-Out Women Getting Pregnant To Escape Work?

Crazy as it sounds to American mothers, in Great Britain women can take up to a year off work, partially paid, after having a baby.

Such generous benefits are designed to give moms and babies time to bond, but according to a new magazine survey (highlighted in the Daily Mail), they're having a side effect: Giving burned-out women an escape route. Of 2,000 British women surveyed, half said that they were considering having a baby to get a year off of work.
