[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did you get knocked up on a random drunken night? Why didn't you plan better for this? Donated leave is for families in need, not irresponsible parents who didn't plan appropriately.[/quote] What's your definition of planning better? Forgoing job opportunities so you have enough leave when you give birth? Waiting until you're infertile to try to get pregnant? I am someone who "planned" and stayed in a job that's not a great fit, and it took at least 5 years before I had enough for a proper maternity leave (by which time I needed fertility treatment to get pregnant...cha ching). Save up for years to spend down thousands in the first months of your child's life? May be fine for some people but for most, not realistic. No wonder families have no savings. Our society hates families. [/quote]
