Maternity leave sought for teen girls

[DSTCHAOS]

Whatever's whatever.

The only thing that interests me is that the FATHERS of these children are held equally responsible. As someone said, make them participate in the school child care and do the things that the mothers have to do (with exception for breast feeding, of course).

Regarding the whole "working female" and the Family and Medical Leave Act:
Employers are not receptive to fathers' rights and responsibilities. Sure, most men put childcare and home responsibilities on women's shoulders and/or women take these responsibilities without demanding men's participation. But there are single parent fathers and married fathers who are the primary caregiver. They need to be given the same considerations that mothers are given by employers and the state (and people, in general).

They need to be doing the same thing the teen mother is doing. If neither is dropping out to get a job, they need to both be doing the parent job. There's no reason why a father of any age should act as if he doesn't have to interact with and care for the child. Take your fasssss butt to the child care center and change a diaper, etc. Being a parent is a full time job and responsibility, regardless of gender.

But that's just me being one of those gender inequality-type people.

And as much as I agree with you, we know the reality is that it doesn't always work that way.


I wish there was a way to make these young boys more responsible....

People do what they are taught and allowed to do. Not what comes "naturally."

Tell the fasss arse little boys to go to the child care center and change some diapers and don't take "no" for an answer. Just like they wouldn't take "no" for an answer from the teen mothers. I don't believe nurturing and things like changing diapers are skills that females are born with. So if a female can learn and do it even if they don't feel like doing it, so can males.

Gosh...you're too quick on the reply. I added to my post.

We can do whatever to them that we would do to a teen mother who doesn't want to do anything.

Just like I think deadbeat "egg donors" should get the same disrespect and mistreatment that deadbeat "sperm donors" get in this society. To hell with them all.
