Define “humane”. People in the US have been having kids for several hundred years without government forcing paid leave. We don’t have a falling population. My wife and I did what people do - we planned ahead, and sucked it up during that time.

What? And are you having trouble actually debating the fucking point, silly person?

That’s why god invented Tivo.

No more whining.

So you do get paid. You’re upset that you either expected to work more hours (understandably upset) or choose to work more hours. Actual “wage theft” is rare and not relevant to this conversation.

That’s because the taxpayers pick up the bill, and those countries for the most part are suffering population declines so they incentivize births.

Oh yawn. Nice out of context whining.

A solution to what?

Who works without pay?

Who is paying for it?

That’s what weekends are for.

So bank them. You have 9 months to bank them anyway.

Good luck with the pressing charges thingy.
