> In addition to maternity leave, there is the option for the mother or father to take extended parental leave for up to a total of 24 months, with a parental allowance of 300 to 1200 Euros (depending on salary), paid by the government for the initial 14 months.
My brother used this for his first child, so I’m quite certain it exists.
Because I think that the taxpayers nor the employers should be forced to pay neither men nor women maternity leave?
> If I knew how little you made I wouldn't even considered you a developer who has opinions on this.
Sorry for chosing to be born in a poor country I guess. (besides, it is not as if unpaid people who are developers of open source software do not exist)
> If you don't work in the United States then this conversation isn't for you
Do you not realize that you are the first person who mentioned the US in this thread?
> However hard you think you have it at the expense of women getting paid while they give birth to humans isn't as hard as you think
What?
> because higher quality of life
Yeah no. The quality of life is much better in the US or in the capitals of richer EU countries (but not in their smaller cities).
Or neither should.
> In most countries they do
Nope

I am living in one.
> y'all boys
Not a boy
> telling women creating you has no economic value
I did not say that.
> this entitled nonsense
So I am entitled for saying that you are not entitled to money that you did not earn? What?
> while you scoop up those six figure salaries
More like barely 5 figure salaries.
You do not know me, do not act like you do.
