Yeah I just tune those people out. Advocating for a child free existence is all well and good, and believe me, there isnt a parent on this planet that hasn’t had a split second thought about how much easier it was before they had kids at some point or another.
But when it crosses the line to militancy, sorry but people are gonna breed, and whether they think thats appropriate or not frankly isnt their concern and their opinion on that carries precisely as much weight with me as my opinion to have children likely has on them…literal none.
But whatever they do, dont call having kids some kind of path to fuckin easy street. If they think that is the case, I invite them to come over and take care of my kids for a couple days and see how much fun it is.

Yeah this idea that parents get all these concessions and rewards and tax deductions that make their lives demonstrably easier than anyone else’s is laughable. Even the paper napkin math on that doesn’t work out in the slightest.
Yeah, the system over burdens everyone. Parents need to take their share of the burden. It’s not fair to hand it off on their childless coworkers just because those people don’t have kids to deal with. We chose to not have kids because we knew it would be a problem with the way things are. You fucked up. Deal with it yourself. We didn’t forgo kids so we’d have more time to do your work.
I beg to differ - there are definitely people in here that are against parents getting these benefits.
What’s shocking to me is that people are blaming parents more than the system/employers that overburdens the workers without kids.

Childless coworkers being given more work than they are paid for is not the fault of parents - it’s the fault of the employer for understaffing.
You are simply never going to have a world without children in it. Deal with it like a fucking adult who lives in a society.
You don’t like having to cover your coworkers stuff when they have other priorities than being a wage slave? Take it up with your employer.
