[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I find it amusing that women want school to be all day to “help” working women.[/b]

But nearly all teachers are women and most have kids. Who will watch their kids when they are working all day?

Also amusing are complaints about day care costs. Daycare workers are almost 100 percent women and insanely underpaid with almost no benefits. They are way overworked in a stressful hard job for very little pay and working moms want them to get paid even less and work longer hours.

I don’t think making it worse for teachers and daycare workers is the answer.

[b]Literally nobody wants school to be all day long to help working women. Working parents want adequate and affordable childcare[/b]. [/quote]

Working parents need to pay for it and stop being entitled to expect people to do it for free.  We have someone in a group asking that they be driven back and forth to the metro and asking for parents to step up and be back up care (again for free).[/quote]

Did I say anywhere that I want it to be free? Nope, all I said was adequate and affordable. My husband works from home (not a Fed) and our kids are old enough to come home and fend for themselves for a couple hours, so our childcare days are over, but I recognize that childcare is harder to find than it was pre-Covid and that it's also more expensive. All that to say is that I get that it's hard for new moms who have never had to worry about childcare before, especially without having time to do that search and get on waitlists, and I wish them the best of luck.
