[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a bit older so I did not have the hybrid or work from home option when my kids were young   I had my kids in a daycare that was located at my office so a bit more expensive, but I did drop off and pick up. On sick days, my husband and I would take turns who would stay home and take care of the child or sometimes we would do half days I would work in the morning and he would go to the office and then he would come home at lunch and I would go into the office.

We did not make enough money for me to quit my job. And the daycare craziness was only for five years as I have two kids that are back to back.

Once they were in elementary school, we used the schools after care program. In the summers, I would coordinate summer camps with the parents of my kids friends so that we could take turns with drop off and pick up.[/quote]

Millennials refuse to talk to and coordinate with other parents.  There is a marked difference in this between how the parents of my 6th grader behave (and behaved 5 years ago) and the parents of my 1st grader behave. [/quote]

You mean people refuse to demand free child care from other parents?  Yes, that's appropriate.  I had to stop working due to childcare.  I'm not here to shag your kid around for free (or even a small pay) when I'm now home for my teens.  You need to take care of your kids needs and stop dumping them on others.[/quote]

Yup, as selfish and annoying as expected!  Some of us would call this "sharing the burden" or "carpooling" or "bartering services" or whatever, but you, you're just a selfish a-hole.[/quote]

I’m not selfish.  I drive my own kids.  I’m tried of strangers demanding I drive their kids.  I owe you nothing.  It’s not sharing as often the other families cancel, bail or refuse. [/quote]

DP. So this is seriously your reason why you can’t RTO? Lol.
