Potluck Dinners
Mealtime is a huge part of the Amish community. Potlucks in the town center are pretty common, and large dinner gatherings for no reason are a popular way to spend the evening. Weddings are a huge deal, and usually, the entire town is invited for a huge, delicious potluck.
No Maternity Leave For Amish Women
Amish women must work up until the moment they have the baby. The housework, teaching, fieldwork, etc, are all left up to the women even in the most difficult pregnancies. They usually forgo hospitals unless they are in a dire situation.
