- TeMPOraL 4y agoSix months is "few months" in my book. My country (Poland) has 12 months of maternity leave, and it's nowhere near enough either. In fact, 12 months is about when your child might start exhibiting sleeping issues (as opposed to just being an infant). In other words, this isn't a problem because of sub-year maternity/paternity leaves. It's a problem because both parents need to work.
- dinkumthinkum 4y agoWhy not 5 years or 16? I think “shithole” country is pretty inflammatory and condescending.
- chadlavi 4y agoIt's also not as though we can just decide to pack up and leave even if it is a shithole.
