Penalising singles

Went to my cousin's place recently and we were talking about how this four month maternity leave was going to make everyone else in the office suffer by doing twice as much and yet receiving the same single salary.

On the one hand, we should go let people make babies. Then the kindergartens and childcare centres will all have very good business. No seriously though, it would be good to regenerate a little. Without the young, who is going to look after the old?

On the other hand though, those who make babies should be a little less gloating. Yes, it is your right to take leave, just like it is your right to budge your baby pram in everybody's way, but I think those preggies should learn to be a little more considerate (I am just generalising here. No offence taken ok?).

Anyway, I think it's time for us singles to assert our rights too and not be marginalised by society.
