I get the sentiment (urgency, quick fix) and I trust DJT (stable genius) but this is not the issue here. We need parental leave and general vacation leave and better work laws in general. Wage theft is real. There’s no reason for Americans to still slave away with strict time off allotments. And I won’t even get into the mess that is healthcare. Western industrialized countries are all dealing with this issue; it’s glaring everyone in the face but the powers that be want to try anything else but solve the real issue. Who wants to procreate in a slave economy? Where women aren’t valued as mothers, men aren’t valued as fathers, children are attacked and indoctrinated, no one can afford what they should be able to for the amount of work they put out, everybody is running at 3x speed with no time for thoughts or joy or self care. The problem is systemic and we should be working 30 hour weeks. Land/houses/property should be affordable. But they blame us and throw small change at the problem thinking our goldfish brains will go, “oOoh shiny!”
Women are expected to work like they aren’t mothers and mother like they don’t have jobs. Call me crazy but it would also be cool if companies offered men a double salary if they wanted to be breadwinners supporting stay at home wives/mothers. For those men who don’t want that type of relationship, work a normal salary, everyone wins and no one can complain. I know this will never happen but a girl can dream…
THIS. I was always bitter about this. You almost have to be on some kind of medication to make it work and keep you going. Even if you take children out of the equation, it's still the women that, after working all day, have to come home and clean the house, shop for the meal, cook it, clean the dishes, do the laundry, and try to find some "me" time in all of that. Now add children to the mix. Something's gotta give. (In my house, the housework suffered a hit. I am not superwoman. I cannot do it all. I refuse to be on medication to get the energy and will to get it done, and I refuse to enslave my children to do it because that's what my mother did to me).
