I don't think this is controversial. It's all about the ratios. And this says a lot about your work condition. I got 27 days off annually. Before my child was born I had 26. It's not a game changer... If all my childless coworkers got an extra day off I probably wouldn't even notice. So sure thay should have it, whatever. You Americans can argue about the weirdest things sometimes.

it isnt weird when most workers here dont get sick leave, let alone vacation time. Europeans are straight up ignorant when it comes to the US but they sure do like to spread their opinions.

edit: holy shit, thank you all for proving my point. of COURSE we want better conditions. europeans are too ignorant to understand why we cant "just change things then." and they dont want to listen to the reasons why. we are glorified slaves here and whenever we bring it up, all we get is abuse from people who will never comprehend our system or why we havent waved our magic wands over the situation.

I suppose we find it weird as you have some dystopian levels of worker rights. Land of the free sure does love to bow down to their corporate masters.

No it is definitely weird when anyone wouldn't be able to get sick days. Every human gets sick. And bringing those germs to work spreads it even worse.

Sorry for expecting a first world country to act civilized.

I'm sorry, I was kind of smug , you're right. Let me rephrase that. For me it is very strange that you are discussing, if needing time to take care of ones children is unfair to people who don't get this time off. It is a fair point, but it is such a nuance. I think it would not be an issue if most Americans would be able to spend some time on their self. But I'm not saying that our system is the ideal.
