[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the woman with the two sisters. And the people talking about husbands doing their fair share are exactly the problem.

You are assuming that both parents have the luxury to stay home. Well, their husbands are both contractors who made the bulk of the household income. You know what can't be done from home? Contracting. I'm not sure how you expect them to manage childcare during the day while they have to be out of the house. Someone had to be home, and my sisters both made less money than their husbands. Quitting was the only logical thing to do.

You clueless, callous people. Not everyone has some perfect life where both parents can work from home and manage small children during the day. I am doing fine, but they are struggling, and I am so mad to see these comments suggesting that their relationships or bad or that there's an easy fix. They are STRUGGLING.

You live in a teleworking bubble.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out you were one of the people I had to stop talking to.

I would also not be surprised if you responded in some way blaming my sisters for not making enough money to afford childcare or suggesting that their husbands stay home from work more. [/quote]

That’s funny. I have loads of friends whose husbands are contractors or medical professionals and yet the husband does work at home too. Btw rain days and extreme cold means they can’t work so they don’t take a day off but take over for mom.

Good friend in DC’s husband is a contractor. 5 kids and she’s medical staff. They made it work and chose not to send their kids back. She even had major medical problems this past November and was bed ridden for two months which delayed her vax. He still took care of her, worked and had the kids sorted.

They are hardly umc. They are in DC and they are making it work.

So yeah it’s hard. Yeah not everyone lives in a wfh bubble. But I’ll bet my house the majority of people trashing teachers are wfh.

And yeah the patriarchy - it you are wfh and your boss can’t understand you have kids in a pandemic and doesn’t cut you slack that’s the patriarchy. Even if it’s a woman btw because that sh*t is ingrained. If you feel pressure to over perform from 9 to 5 in a pandemic lest lose your job - that’s the patriarchy.

And just because a man makes more doesn’t mean their jobs are more important

Last boss still took half days because kids were sick - his wife had a lower paid job - if anyone said why he was leaving his response was “my wife has a career too”[/quote]

what the f are you rambling about?[/quote]

Go raise your kids [/quote]

Do your job!![/quote]

Teachers have been doing their jobs, so no hysterical "do your job!!!" retorts required.  The standards of their employment are set by their employers, not you.

P.S.  Not everyone who disagrees with you is a teacher.  Stop embarrassing yourself with your stupid assumptions.[/quote]
