@rbreich I totally agree. But as for the flowers, please a little more often and not just on Mother's Day :-)

I had a thought.
Say, in a world where mothers pay for themselves:
- Two child carers care for about 10 children 8h per day. Commuting to work an back, 10 single mothers work 7h or less. They need enough income to pay 8×2=16h pretty educated child care.
- In a sustained scenario, each mother has 2.1 children. Because now for 10 children 5 mothers are paying, the earnings available shrink down to 3.5h per mother.
- Mothers usually step down on their career ladder. 3.5h pre-child job turns into some job worth 3.2h.
- Half of their income pays the rent.

So, caring for 10 children, there is less than 1.6h times 10 remaining to pay/earn for 16h of child care.

Doesn't that mean that women who earn less than a child carer are better off caring for their children themselves? Are female child carers better off keeping their job and *not* become mothers themselves? Shouldn't mothers who earn more, pay them more?

73 % des mères ayant des enfants de moins de 18 ans font partie de la population active. Plus que des fleurs ou un brunch, les mères qui travaillent ont besoin de congés familiaux payés, de l'égalité salariale, d'un accès universel aux services de garde d'enfants et aux soins de santé.

(Mais n'oublie pas d'offrir des fleurs à ta maman aussi)
