What happens if both parents work?
- toomuchtodo 2y agoYou do the best you can, but you’re likely setup for failure. As a parent in the trenches, I do not recommend children to anyone who is not fully prepared and informed for twenty years of a form of hardship. https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/parents-under-pressure.pdf https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/parents-under-pressu...
- gus_massa 2y agoI was asking about the 4 day class week. It makes it very hard to have two working parents. (Also note that the 20 years is only an optimistic lower bound.)
- toomuchtodo 2y agoAhh, my apologies. With regards to the 4 day week, parents are exposed to additional childcare costs I presume. The perils of having children in a macro that considers them a luxury good, and is unwilling to subsidize daycare nor pay teachers more. If you go into it knowing you’re going to suffer (cannot afford daycare, childcare, etc), that’s a choice. > Also note that the 20 years is only an optimistic lower bound. Strongly agree.
