Exactly thank you.

Might make for a decent prank.

I know of jobs where people with kids get to choose assignments more regularly if there's travel involved because they have kids and because the managers have kids. Like, you no kid person, hit the road next week. I mean I get it, but it is discriminatory.

It's a positive world that embraces people with pets taking their responsibilities seriously.

This comment is patently anti-dog. This is an outrage! I demand paid pupternity leave!

Id say its about the same.

If your kids need to be dropped off then I'm sorry but how does it take that exact 15 minute period every day? Can't drop them off 15 minutes earlier or later?

The school drop off windows are very strick. They usually cant legally let the children in before a certain time, and if theyre late, then the they get tardies and discipline as theyre missing class. My kids need to be dropped off between 7:45 and 7:55. I have to account for car line. And schools 20 minutes away. If i worked from home, id be spending basically 50 minutes to drop my kids off.

And i only have 1 school to drop off at. Multiple kids of varying ages can easily have multiple schools with varying start times. And not all districts and locations within those districts have busses.

This is what has happened because families need 2 workings parents to function now. In the old times when 1 working parent made enough money to support a family, the other parent would be supporting the kids. We're basically asking parents with kids to work 3 full time jobs now

Just addressing your last paragraph - it's August, which means rather than the relatively stable school schedule (less so around Mondays and Fridays, for some reason), we're coming off of summer camp season.

We had our kids enrolled in a different camp every week, just to get nearly-full coverage. And they all have different schedules, with similar dropoff and pickup requirements.

To reiterate - US childcare is a joke, and everyone suffers for it.

I have a 2 year old and can confirm that as long as the meeting is 15m and does not collide with pickup/dropoff/morning routine (e.g. 10am) I would make it every time.

Yeah they need to move that meeting or abolish it. Schools arent going to shift the dropoff windows and if you're regularly missing staff then it's not vital

This tweet is not advocating for removing the breaks for parents, it's advocating for also giving the same breaks to everyone. Same as with smoke breaks.

It's healthy to take small breaks every once in a while, and every worker should have access to them. You shouldn't need to have a kid or an addiction to enjoy your breaks.

Hell, I myself take smoke breaks and I have never smoked.

its not even work "breaks". Work was always easier than dealing woth the kid. If youre getting called out of work, sometging is obviously not gone to plan, and dealing with that adds more stress. Id rather just be unbothered at work.

This shaming shit is garbage. second or third time ive seen this childfree comm come up, this place is so lame. be childfree, do it. I was supposed to myself, but blaming parents and shit stirring is so fuckin stupid. This some reddit level garbage.

Your literacy needs work.
