[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The insane waitlists for daycare. The nanny shortage. The lack of parental leave. What can reasonably be done to even take a step in the right direction?[/quote] Stay home and you take care of your children. I did. Why can't you?[/quote] So, your answer is to keep women out of the workforce? [/quote] Not women. There are SAHD and will be more and more of them. For the first year, a baby needs a parent. A grandparent can step in but a parent is best. [/quote] Ok, so how about a year of parental leave? Some of us can't afford to just leave our jobs and/or would have a lot of trouble getting a new one without moving cross-country. Other countries do this. It's possible.[/quote] Stop having children you can't afford.[/quote] So now people who can't or won't leave the workforce, and pay for childcare in the first year, can't afford kids either? [/quote]
