This is a common set-up: two parents out of the house 10 hours a day, scrambling to provide care for their own children. We make it work because we have to.[/quote]
And what benefit is there to society in making more people have to deal with this?[/quote]

So your question (why should I have to suffer like you, essentially) comes across as a bit… privileged to those of us who do essential in-person jobs.

Nice try. Answer the question. What benefit is there to society in making other people’s lives worse?[/quote]

You mean: What if we are all as self-serving as you?

Who is going to teach your children? Who is going to provide after-school activities and childcare for you? Who is going to be at the urgent care when you or your child get sick?

See, it’s really tiresome for those of us who work for the betterment of society (which often has to be done in person) to hear the woe-is-me from somebody who may have to experience a bit of what we do. It’s hard to feel sympathy when your argument is “well, you’re suffering, but thankfully I don’t have to!”[/quote]

No one is proposing to make YOUR life worse, while you are rejoicing in making our lives worse, and potentially hurts families and children the most.  What kind of poor upbringing have you had?[/quote]

I’m not rejoicing. Why would I bother to do that?

Just don’t “woe-is-me” about it. [b]Consider your audience[/b]. When you have service workers who drive 45 minutes to their jobs (like me and many others), it’s really tiresome to hear people complain about RTO.

Want an example? Just look at your post. It’ll hurt YOUR family and children “the most.” Um… my long hours don’t affect MY family and children? I guess not as much as your RTO will hurt yours, huh?

So, what kind of poor upbringing have YOU had?[/quote]

You.arent.our.audience.

This is a thread specially about fed employees and RTO. Why are you joining in our conversations and then telling us we need tailor the discussion of this topic to your feelings?

No one asked you to be here.

What a stupid thing to say. It’s a public discussion board. No OP or commenter sets what a thread is “specifically about” or needs to “ask (anyone) to be here.”  If the responses bother you, feel free to stop reading them. DP[/quote]
