The Washington Post out with a piece, "How you feel about your job affects how well you parent your kids."

“People spend 40 hours a week at work, and that experience affects you and your mental health, your physical health, everything,” said Maureen Perry-Jenkins, a professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. That, in turn, affects how supportive and responsive a parent is.

How this stacks up with paid leave laws in the U.S. (or lack thereof) is another matter. No surprise-- unionized workers fare better than not.
