I think we should invest in our children.[/quote]

I think we should invest in our children, too. By keeping businesses solvent so that their parents will have a place to work. Paying mama for 6 months of maternity leave because she's feeling stressed, tired, and not sufficiently bonded is foolhardy, at best.[/quote]Investing in the greedy employers is not investing in children
Mothers are people too, in other countries around the world, even in Swaziland, they have recognized the value of women and mothers and the benefit this has on infants. To them small children are a valuable resource worth investing in.

I cannot help but think US rules are because the conservatives do not want to see women in the work force. More like a prehistoric mind set from another era[/quote]

But then why do those countries have lower birth rate than USA?[/quote]

Maybe because they are predominantly White? The birth rate for Whites in those countries and the US is very similar.

In any case - who cares? The point is not to boost the birth rate but to provide work-life balance for women in the existing population.[/quote]
