8. The way this country treats moms is insane.

Some companies are starting to grant paid family leave--but honestly, not having had a kid, I had no idea how soon mothers who had recently given birth were being put right back into the workplace. Like within days! wtf.

And then being devalued for wanting to be a parent and not the profit-machine for the boss, and treated like you are not really a person.

Jobs shouldn't be the center of human existence, but a part of human experience that enriches life.
