[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your parents are reasonable and not bad enough to have caused (physical/emotional) trauma, why are they not spending a eeek with your parents and a week with his parents??? Parenting takes a village. It's not solo! If they have younger cousins, perhaps they can spend a week with Aunt/Uncle to cousin bond. Sympathies to you and your family. This is a long result of people refusing to hold their governments accountable for paid parental leave and flexible schedules for everyone. The longer people refuse to stand in solidarity and demand the same benefits for all of society. The longer people in this country suffer. Actions/Votes/Racism/ ................./....//// ALL have consequences [/quote] Really not the norm to have that kind of help. Many grandparents are still working their own jobs. Or are not healthy enough for childcare, and the parents are taking care of them in addition to their children! Or they simply arent willing or interested.[/quote] [b]Again, you are missing the crux of this argument. Demanding more of your government so that you don't have to cobble resources together benefits all of society. Long term care of aging adults, support for childcare and resources to allow people retire by 60 or 65 is reasonable. No one should have to work after age 60/65.... all of that is simply government and corporate greed. This country could spend less on its war-mongering and more on its people. Why aren't you demanding more of your government? Where are the letters to your Congressional person? Why are you content to just grin & bare it?[/b] [/quote]
