[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not a lack of childcare that’s the problem; it’s that these women want to have it both ways. They don’t want to pay anyone else to watch their children, they prefer to fleece their employers.[/quote]

There are plenty of before and after care options. People just don’t want to pay. Though it’s the responsibility of mom and dad, not just mom, in ideal circumstances.

-A single mom breadwinner with sole custody who pays for child care and full time summer camp[/quote]

Completely depends where you are, all the daycare centers that offer full daycare are at capacity around me. Preschool runs until 3pm at the latest. [b]There is a waitlist for the school offered after care if your kid is school age[/b].[/quote]

There is a waitlist if you sign up today. If you had signed up years ago when your kid started K, you would be off the waitlist by now.

Look, I totally get that people wanted to save money on childcare and have their kids home with them. But just own it. Own that it was a choice that you intentionally made. It was great while it lasted but now you have to pay the piper and it’s not everybody else’s fault/problem.[/quote]

So you think a kid who has a parent at home after school should spend years in aftercare just in case?  I doubt a program with a wait-list would let you pay for a spot youre not using.  I do not think that is rational.[/quote]

They could actually use the spot. We have plenty of neighbors who do that. They actually have to do work at home so they can't pop out to the bus stop or get snacks out or host a playdate while "working".

Again, this is on parents who thought they could F around and found out.[/quote]

I have never, in 15 years of federal service, been required to be in the office for 40 hours/week.  I have always had childcare coverage for all hours I am working.  Your idea that we should have planned for something that has never been true is irrational.  Why don't I also just plan for magic being real at some point?  For teleportation?  For nuclear war?[/quote]

Yeah, that's part of being a responsible parent. Planning to be able for your job when it's required. Even working at home there should be required meetings/briefings that can't be scheduled around everyone's kids' school and sports schedules.

Your job must not be very essential if you can't figure this out in 15 years. [/quote]

You sound insane.  Honestly.  But since you are a 'responsible parent', what is your plan for your child under nuclear armageddon?  [/quote]
