Why isn’t it possible for both groups to have an equal work life balance?
- nautilius 5y agoIt sure is, if you adjust for that at work. If you don't, you're expecting parents to work (at least) two jobs.
- arp242 5y agoIf that's an issue for you then don't be a parent. Or have one of you be a stay-at-home parent. Or get a job with fewer hours. The unspoken assumption here is that people without kids aren't doing anything outside of their work that might be considered "work". They just choose to spend their time on different things. Parents really aren't special.
- sidlls 5y agoRaising the next generation of people who pay singeltons' salaries and make their lives possible is different from indoor rock climbing and slamming avocado toast, and relatively at least it very much is special.
- arp242 5y agoYou have a very curious view of childless/single people. Gosh, this must be the first time I've seen someone use "avocado toast" other than a parody of these kind of views. And ironically, I actually spent many years volunteering as a scout leader and some youth computer initiatives shrug
- nautilius 5y agoThat’s cute. Is it more than 2 hrs a week? What a sacrifice.
- nautilius 5y agoOh I’d be happy to speak that out openly. And it’s easy to test: what are you doing that is so essential that it will ensure that there are still humans in 100 years, and how many hours do you put into this?
- arp242 5y agoBecause clearly there is a shortage of people on this planet... Indeed, humans are on the verge of extinction! Gosh this has got to be one of the most entitled attitudes I've come across in a long while.
- nautilius 5y agoHaha, says the freeloader who expects the world to organize around their needs! But you didn’t answer my question: what is your grandiose contribution to this world? What do you do for others, without which humanity would go extinct within 100 years? Some open source project to organize your music collection?
- nautilius 5y agoAlso - I don’t have a problem with parenting, I have a problem with freeloaders.
- dleslie 5y agoIt is possible. Don't work extra hours just because you don't have responsibilities waiting for you at home.
