I'm just quoting you because you seem rational. I see people on Twitter complaining about the cost of care, the fact that they're self-employed and don't get maternity/paternity leave and how the childcare costs are not only a cost to the woman. And while I agree with some of that, and understand the sentiment, there is a point where I can't help but think to myself "well, you made some choices here, and if that costs you more money, that's on you."

Personal responsibility? How dare you!
