Well, anyone who chooses to have kids with a working partner does so in the knowledge that they probably won't get paid for looking after them.
But what the women referred to in the report also know about having kids - and what serves as a major incentive to do so - is that it is often their ticket to a very cushy life indeed, not least because once your kids reach 4 they are taken off your hands by the state for at least 6 hours a day, leaving lots of time for mummy lunches and spending sprees while experiencing no stigma at all for not working (a stigma that still very much exists for men, despite their apparent privilege)
A "burden" my hairy hebrew vagina.
