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.
...BUT we clearly arent blaming parents .
We are blaming the billionairss and politicians who have structured our modern work hours and modern economies. Wot are you on about? Did I miss something?
That is not the tone of like half the comments I'm seeing, just in this post. A lot of "snarky" backbiting towards people speaking up for parenting needs. "You chose to be a parent, so why should you get special accomodations for that?"-type of attitudes.
and the funny thing about snarky comments like that is that there are A LOOOOT of people on the planet who literally dont have any other option but to become a parent.
Sterilizations, birth controls, protections from S Assaults, abortions are not universally available worldwide . ALSO there's a stupidly high number lf cultures that persecute and prosecute a childfree person soo....
On another note, why cant we live in a world where such things ARE universally available to any adult who asks for them? And one where a person is not given the death penalty for simply choosing to remain childfree?
No War But Class War.
Was a great saying when it was only used in reference to fighting literal wars.
These days it reeks of class reductionism and anti-intersectionality.

Anything talking about modern humans that doesnt reduce iit down to a class issue is ignored by default by me. My brain doesnt work any other way Ive found sadly.
Theres a real peace that i feel every monday morning when i sit down at my desk at work
