you could have just chosen not to run your card that in the first place. especially if you're not in the position to deal with the consequences.

likewise, having kids isn't "like a second work", it's caused by one's decision. you could have opted not to have them. it's purely a voluntary choice. why do the consequences for someone else's voluntary decision warrant others being forced to accomodate it or change their plans?

Having the kid is voluntary.

Once you have one, rasing it is not.

Ah. In this case your issue is with the employer not being able to plan or be flexible, not the person rasing the kid.
