[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see no reason why I should have to pay for your choice to have children. Plan better.[/quote] Why should others have to pay for your retirement and your healthcare during retirement? [/quote] I am a parent of two. I really wish we could balance out our priorities here. But the fact is this - Not everyone has kids (or even likes them for that matter), [b]but everyone gets old. [/b] Until we realize that we need to focus on our very young and very old - our two most vulnerable populations - women need to realize that few care about them or their newborns. So they need to have solid plans in place. When my colleague was out on bed rest and then extended her leave, we did her job for her. We are an office of 11 people. I had to learn parts of her job. People (and we're all parents, too) were fed up. Thankfully, it was temporary, and things are back to normal. [/quote] Sorry but NO. Not everyone gets old. A lot of people die before retirement. But everyone was once a infant who wanted a mother's care in the beginning. I took 12 weeks unpaid though as a fed and I think that was long enough. I would have like a maternity leave, but didn't have any leave saved due to it being a new job. 25-35 year olds don't have a lifetime to save before maternity leave the way the elderly can save before retirement.
