[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't have school aged kids before telework so what did people do? Did people put their kids in before/aftercare/camps/school for 10 hours a day? How did people find time for extracurriculars if elementary kids are in aftercare until 5:30-6? [/quote] Yes that’s exactly what parents did. Some families can flex schedules so one parent drops off and goes in later while the other goes in earlier and does end of the day pick up. Others get nannies, after school sitters or use family help. People do before and aftercare with summer camps and camp selection often was based on work needs not kid preferences. It was common for people to do some work from home in the evenings or early mornings on those occasions where not everything got completed during the work day. And lots of vacation leave gets sucked up by days off from school if you don’t have childcare that runs during periods when schools are closed. People who had their kids in 2019 or before would be familiar with this. It’s just going back to pre Covid life. [/quote] Oh my goodness to the majority of parents this is all common knowledge. Are you really not aware that people who have kids and by necessity also have jobs... are making tradeoffs & piecing things together every single fcking day? Yet you expect our taxes to pay your overcompensated salaries/benefits/vaca/snow days (omg!) ect ect while you get to sit home because god forbid you should be inconvenienced getting larla to all her extracurricular activities & camp Welcome to the majority's reality. Hope you enjoy your stay[/quote] What is your job and educational background/professional qualifications? Do you expect to have the same hours/pay/perks as everyone else in the country? Or do you grasp that some people get compensated more (whether in salary or benefits or flexibility) based upon the nature of their qualifications and experience? My DH and a lot of other private sector employees I know get stock as part of their compensation, which I don’t get as a fed. Should I stomp my feet and say that isn’t fair and they should be living the majority’s reality and not have those stock options? All you have is sour grapes and no real logic.[/quote]
