[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t even find expensive after school childcare, short of hearing a personal nanny or chauffeur for my kid.  This problem is nobody’s responsibility to solve except each family in their own.  It’s a failure of society[/quote]

And at every corner we’re told having a parent SAH is a luxury. Then we’re told having quality childcare is a luxury. Basically we’ve made having a family a “luxury.” Also info want to live close to your job you are told “well living close in to the city is not a right, too bad you can’t afford it.” Then if you move farther from the city you’re told “that is your fault for moving so far away.”

Essentially we are all supposed to just shut up and suck up expensive housing, long commutes, warehousing our kids in aftercare until 6 PM etc. and accept any term of employment without complaint.[/quote]

The PP going on about how someone's mom should just not have gotten pregnant or gotten an abortion, simple, it's just the consequences of her choices is a glaring example of this. These people DO see having a family as a luxury, not a basic element of being human. (Note I didn't say it was a *mandatory* element of being human, I just think it's so much more than a "lifestyle choice.") They have zero interest in empathy and humanity, only blame. You can't talk with people like this. It's always the individual's fault, structures can't be criticized. [/quote]

No.  Having a family shouldn’t be a luxury but it is *absolutely* a choice.  If the terms of your employment state “don’t get pregnant” then just… don’t get pregnant!  Or be prepared to get a different job.  Again, it’s not complicated.

Societal structure is one thing when it comes to having kids.  Criticize away.  But the military/police/fire departments (etc.) and such are absolutely entitled to not have people on the payroll who physically cannot do the job.  To argue otherwise is disingenuous.[/quote]

It's classified as a temporary disability. [/quote]
