- And today's video is all
about U.S.A vs U.K. parenting.

- So we're not parents, let's
just get that straight--

although we're not parents,
there's loads of things

about kids and stuff that we can vouch for

So we just to discuss it
and go through with it,

and we also are really
interested in your opinions

which we encourage you
to leave in the comments.

- So the first one is to
do with maternity leave,

so when a woman has, when
a mother has a child,

in the U.K., she can
expect to get about 52

So that means she can go and
look after her child at home

- For a full year to raise
the child, over that,

- And I believe that the
company get paid maternity leave

back from the government
or at least a percentage

giving this employee the money to be away.

of maternity leave, well,
like paid maternity leave.

- And even the U.K. has
more maternity leave

apparently the rest of Europe
has 14 weeks maternity leave,

we have like, one of the
highest maternity leaves,

- That's it, you're either not being paid

It's not something I've
thought about as a man

but now I've seen that in
this article, it's crazy.

- So the second thing that's
sort of up for discussion

in this article, is
that apparently cursing

U.K. parenting compared
to like U.S. parenting.

And I don't know how
much I agree with this,

I think it completely
depends on the family.

and they still don't,
even though we're adults.

but I know that that's
maybe more of my family,

in front of the kids, or her husband did,

And they're scared that
the kid would say that

so, like, I don't know,
I think, Brits maybe

just laugh at it a bit more,
like that's really funny

our attitude to swearing
is a lot more relaxed

than in the U.S., I know
that's the stereotype anyway,

Like it is something that
Brits find swearing funny.

Not everyone, my mum doesn't find it funny

in the slightest, but most
Brits find swearing funny,

and they just think it's
part of who we are, I guess.

- Yeah, as a child, like, I
definitely did not swear at all.

Like if I was caught
swearing, I'd get a slap.

But yeah I don't, I can't
really remember what age

Completely depends on
the family, doesn't it?

that it's not uncommon
to find kids in pubs

and that is something that,
normally pubs are divided.

I remember as a kid, you weren't
allowed in certain areas,
