I agree. Parents are making sacrifices which benefit society as a whole. Those children the parents are taking care of now will be the ones who will provide for the one complaining now via taxes as well as services rendered to them.

If anything, companies should be providing more childcare so that more women (as well as some men) will have less of a burden balancing career and caregiving.

I see these people as being petty complainers who wouldn’t raise their own children (own or adopted) but complain someone else is willing to be a productive member of society engaging in the workforce and raising the productive adults of tomorrow when these complainers will be asking for benefits and services that would be unavailable without future adults.

It's similar to "I don't take the bus, why should my taxes pay for public transit."

I would concede if there are people exploiting this privilege then that’s a problem and management should address it.
