I know mothers who got threatened to be fired for taking parental leave. Childcare is expensive and exhausting, wake till sleep you have work or to take care of the child, zero breaks, we get sickness riddled from overpopulated kindergardens, we see childfree colleagues overtaking us in carreer, we pay one persons wage in rent. Parents these days are handled like they are the trash bottom of society.

For comparison, WHO says kindergarden from 3 yo because they need the mother b4 that. Parental leave pay is up to 1 yr. After that you put the child in strangers hands for 10+ hours?! You see your child less than the caretakers. If we were animals in a zoo, we'd say this is not "Artgerecht" and make laws against this.

Why oh why do people only decide to not get children.

How come with both partners now working fulltime, with all these technical advancements we still have declining living conditions?
