[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t have a clue what someone has going on in their lives and assuming that someone with no kids has more free time than someone without kids is ridiculous. People coach, have second jobs, could be caring for other family members. This is not a fair assumption.[/quote]

But ultimately having kids means you have less free time overall than someone without kids. Get real.[/quote]

I think you're the one who needs to get real. As others have said, you have no clue what someone has going on in their personal lives.

My former neighbor, a teacher, worked full-time, then went home to care for her husband who was suffering from ALS (they had a daytime CNA). She certainly had zero "free time," probably even less than someone with small children.

My cousin, a teacher, worked a second job from 4pm- 9pm four days per week, plus ten-hour days on both Saturday and Sunday. That's a second full-time job. She had very little "free time."

It doesn't matter, though. It is [u]no one else's business[/u] how much "free time" someone has, and anyone even implying that someone without children should be able to do more work than is required, is inappropriate and a violation of their privacy.

Take a breath. I’m not implying someone without children should have to do more work. I’m simply explaining why some teachers without children may have more free time. People without children always have more free time in general than people with children. [b]You’d know that if you actually have children. [/b]

I am not saying anything about what teachers are expected to do. I’m simply stating facts about having kids vs not having kids. Once you have kids, you realize how much more free time you actually had before kids. [/quote]

I do have children-- two in high school, one in middle school, one in elementary school,  and one starting school next year-- so I am aware of how much free time people with children have. I still stand by what I said above. [/quote]
