12. What law keeps relatives from watching children?

I guess he thinks all grandparents (but not HIS parents... just his in-laws) can take a leave of absence, not get fired, and spend a year earning no income to watch the children of these rich parents.

It's like he thinks people work for fun... not for money. So they're selfish if they don't quit work to watch all these kids.
