Naomi Osaka was ‘shocked’ by lack of paid maternity leave in US

[Tommy Tainant]

We had two kids, at our cost/expense, we didn't expect the tax payer to foot the bill of our decision. As you know, the state pays Child Benefit, so we received that, but if it was scrapped, it wouldn't have bothered us. Both sets of grandparents looked after the kids, and we also paid for them to go to nursery school.

With the first, I took a paternity week off. With the second, I took about two days off and went back to work. If paternity leave didn't exist, then I would have been happy to take them as holidays. I never used to take my full holiday entitlement anyhow.

I wish people would make choices and decisions at their cost and stop expecting the taxpayer to pick up the tab. Welfare should be renamed to Sponging.

Translation = It worked for me.

God, is there nothing, that people like the OP expect the government to do for them?

America has huge social problems according to posters on this site. Perhaps supporting young families would improve things.

Perhaps getting government out of people's lives would be even better.

Maybe we could make murder legal too as to avoid stepping on anybody's individual rights? Oh wait, that would be infringing on the rights of the murdered. Get it yet?
