      You’re advocating for all parents to be fired from their jobs because they have children.

      You still think you know how things work in the real world?

        I didn’t say that anywhere. I said they shouldn’t get preferential treatment and they should plan accordingly to work the shifts they are scheduled for or face the consequences. Same as childless people do. Are you saying every parent is incapable of that?

          Every person is incapable of never needing a day off of work.

          No matter how hard you want to blame parents for your misfortunes, the work balance is ultimately the responsibility of your employer.

          You will never rid the world of children and parents.

            And we take the hit when we have an unscheduled day off. That’s how being employed works. Forcing childless people to have more unscheduled days off because parents get priority on scheduling PTO is unfair to those without kids.

              But it isn’t parents fault that your employer is being unfair to you. Your employer could just as easily staff more people and allow as much time off for childless people as parents.

              But you’re not yelling about employers, you’re yelling about how parents shouldn’t have children.

                Yeah. Employers aren’t going to change. If everyone wants to mob up and try to force them to I’m all for it. But for now the reality of the situation is childless people are getting shafted worse than parents because the parents demand special treatment.

                  People aren’t going to stop having kids either.

                  It’s much more feasible to force our employers to give us more workers rights than to keep people from procreating.

                    Putting words in my mouth again. Never asked people to stop having kids.

                    If it’s so feasible to force employers to change fucking do it then.
