> Cool, except people choose to be parents, and when you do that you accept the additional work involved in that.

Yes. That's why parents will get before and afterschool child care, daycare, find a relative, or hire a babysitter to take care of the child(ren), etc. so that they can work. When most if not all of that is taken away, then what do you expect?

Also, keep in mind that other than a relative or public school, you usually have to pay quite a bit of money for these services, but I don't see parents arguing that they should be paid more to compensate for those additional expenses so that their income after expenses is comparable to those who don't have children.
