I'm 58, female, never married, no kids. I'm not raising the next generation but my coworkers with kids are. I want to be supportive of a group of people who have chosen to do something - and someone has to do it - I have chosen not to do. If I stay late at work to finish a project and my coworker with kids leaves to pick up her kids, why is that a problem? When child-free workers fail to understand their responsibility - paying taxes for public schools, supporting parental leave, staying late so a parent can pick up their kid - in helping to ensure that children have parents who are available to them, they fail to understand the role we all need to play in creating and nurturing a community. I would make the same argument for coworkers caring for aging parents.
