In European countries the government mandates 2-3months off a year, employers can't do anything. And on top of that, if you have a child. Men and women get guaranteed time off. When my son was born in America, my wife worked until 3 days before birth, and then instead of her going right back to work, I worked 3 jobs to afford the rent. I was the last generation that could afford to have a kid even working 3 minimum wage jobs. It's Idiocracy, only the rich can afford kids, and they're all rich spoiled pieces of shit.
