I'd hardly consider having three children in the space of three years a 'vacation'. And that's a vanishingly small edgecase, anyways. It's a good system.

- overcast 10y agoNo where did I say it was a 'vacation'. However getting paid to stay home, and raise your children sounds like a better alternative to sitting in a cubicle all day. If it doesn't, then you probably shouldn't have kids.
- MichaelGG 10y agoSounds like a good thing for Canadians. Otherwise you end up with no citizens and have to do bulk-level importing which is difficult. A party in Germany recently proposed a E10K load, per child, up to 3. More kids meant you didn't have to pay off the loan. Sounds like a good way to help the birthrate. I think it was considered too racist to limit it to citizens.
- edanm 10y agoI think you're being a bit black-and-white in your thinking. Plenty of people have kids and love them, but also don't want to spend literally every minute with them. Or conversely, want to also do other things in their life.
- eitally 10y agoYou obviously don't have kids.
- gaius 10y agoIn what way is it not a vacation? It's time off work to pursue a personal lifestyle choice, seems pretty much like the definition of a vacation to me.
- panic 10y agoThese kids are literally the future of human society. Giving parents time and support is a direct investment in our future.
