[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working parents need aftercare, for both their sanity, their child's happiness, and their employers commitment. Don't blame your kid for not being able to entertain themselves; that's not their job. It's your job to provide them the attention they need, which you can't do when you're working.

It's fine every now and then to have your kid watch a movie or set up new legos or a scavenger hunt around the yard to waste time. It's not fine every single day.

These posts really kill me. Just because you work from home does not mean you don't need childcare! Come on, create some normal boundaries and be responsible! [/quote]

Awesome!  Are you spearheading a movement to make quality aftercare programs available to every elementary schooler in the country?  [/quote]

This movement has already happened. For sure it takes some effort to do the research, and some planning in advance to get your spots, but aftercare programs are available to every elementary schooler in the country. It's your job to find them, and to make your budget and schedule work for what your family needs. If you can't or won't find them, then you need to find a job that allows more flexible or less hours.[/quote]

Gaslighting nonsense. And I’m a teacher with family help who doesn’t need aftercare anymore. The one is my town is so understaffed that they can only provide spots to maybe half who want one. [/quote]
