I think this question pits parents and others against each other, when it shouldn't. Parental leave is necessary to raise a child. But at the same time, workers in general need leave for mental health among other things.
I also think this is more of a problem for places like America where leave is really, really unfairly distributed and there's basically no worker protections. There should be plenty of medical and annual leave, as well as government support in case medical leave isn't enough to get better.
This was basically my response too. We need to unite, not allow ourselves to be pitted against each other. I know that some people mistakenly believe it is unfair for parents to get things like tax credits, but that’s just confusion.
