Rudokas, father of four children, is outraged by the state’s support for mothers: it is not a benefit, but an alms

According to R. Rudokas, the time of the father and the child does not depend on the decisions of the government. “Neither the welfare of the state nor the welfare of the family will depend on the lack of dad a bit more time getting 3-4 euros per child per day. Stop having children, dear ones. Don’t stop, Ramunas, don’t stop, Gabriel, stop everyone else, “said R. Rudokas.

He argued that conditions for mothers raising small Lithuanian citizens should be improved first. “Give mothers to raise a child for at least three years at home. Give them money, give them a salary so they can raise that child, even if it’s a minimum wage. And it will all end, all the nonsense will end. The demographic situation in Lithuania will be normal, we will raise children normally, confirmed the guest of the program. “Let the father work, let him go to work.”

R. Rudokas himself is the father of four children. The youngest offspring is not yet two years old.

“Let’s not think that we gave 200 euros a month to our mother and twenty euros to our father to keep the child.” It won’t be like that, “R. Rudokas was angry.

According to him, the most important thing is to allow the mother to raise her child as long as possible. “The mothers of one and a half years refuse to spend their sweet free time with their children, they go to kindergarten to work because the family does not survive. The child benefit is not a subsidy but an alms. What mothers now they get by raising their small children, newborns. Alms are real. A mother or father, minimum work or mother, receiving, how much, 200 euros? – He considered R. Rudokas, and hearing that everything also depends on the Earned salary, added that only if the mother worked and if she was a student or not, the situation is different – If the mother is a student, if the mother is studying, she receives a benefit of a couple of hundred euros a month, the father he still receives about 4.5-5 hundred euros. The family has to rent a house, drive a car, take care of the child, medicine, etc. What is it? Do you live in Vilnius? You are joking. “

The director considered that for such a quantity it might be possible to live somewhere in a small town but not in the capital.

When considering changes in parental leave, one of the arguments for shortening them is that it is too difficult for mothers to return to the job market after a two-year break. However, Rudok disagrees with this.

Who decided that here? I wonder a lot who decided it was difficult for someone to go back to work of some sort. I can not understand what donkey or hen, sorry for the epithets, it is not specifically for someone, I am talking about animals, they can shoot in the head that “they will no longer be integrated into work”. What nonsense is there? How can she not come back? She will return with the greatest desire and potential, “said R. Rudokas.

R. Rudokas expressed his keen opinion when he discussed the deliberations to change the parental leave procedure. Two options are currently being considered: two years of parental leave and one and a half years. In both cases, two months of parental leave would belong to the father, so that the mother would receive benefits for one year and ten months or for one year and four months. Dad could not transfer part of his vacation to his mother. The change is planned on the basis of an EU directive.

And although the representatives of the Ministry of Social Security and Labor say that the new regime will be more favorable not only for parents but also for the development of the child, the Center for Equal Opportunities, which has said so in the labor market
