Jude do you get notified when a post is reported?

No but I can see it. Why?

Honestly, I'd rather just pay people to take time off to be with their kid instead of when they rush back and just half-ass everything because they want to leave at 3:00. I hate that more than anything.

I know you didn't attack them. You merely think they should not be factored into the equation here. I disagree and explained why I think so...

No man is an island.

And providing support does not eliminate a person's need to help himself. All I know is that I couldn't have gone from country trash to advanced-degree holder without various breaks afforded to me by government. I still had to do the work, but I wouldn't have had access to the institutions if not for public help.

To my knowledge the government provides basic prenatal needs to women in the U.S. if they don't otherwise have insurance.

I'm not sure since I've never been pregnant myself.

I'm a very sensitive fellow Mr. Terror.

The education and student loan system in this country is beyond fucked up.

I think you would be a terrific mother.

And yeah, I think there are basic programs to help people out, but those programs are more extensive (teaching mothers how to take care of the child, checkups, inoculations, etc) in some other countries ranked on the list, which is what the article alludes to.

Again, you can disagree with them on principal, but I they are successful programs.

It's funny you say that, because my school is eliminating it's parenting program.

Something that might actually help these kids, no money in the budget. :smt013
