I'm a Luddite. It wouldn't be a bad thing for the survival of civilization to go back to most families being a mom and dad, with one person's primary responsibility being a job and physical and financial support of the family, and the other in charge of loving care, day-to-day household chores and relationships with neighbors, community, and society as a whole. Paid family leave isn't a good idea. It encourages the breakdown of family and community structures.

I'm so far Luddite that I wonder if smashing the computers (like in many SciFi movies) might be the road to salvation.

When I proposed to my wife, she asked if she could stay home with the kids. I said yes and she said she’d marry me.

Yup. Luddite

I agree wholeheartedly with that.

But I am not a Luddite. And please don’t smash my ‘puter.

Make a correlation between paid family leave and the breakdown of the family.
