Wow. I did not know there were any children in San Francisco.
This is really unfair to people who can’t have children, or for those who don’t want to have children. I bet it will also apply to illegals who come in to work occasional jobs and piece work. The last “employer” will be on the hook for an extra six week pay once momma drops the package.
Well, isn’t that special. Everyone else has to take up their workload and never see compensation. Sounds great for those who have 6 kids. Not so great for those without kids or older ones.
The obamas do that and go on vacations every other week.
