Amidst all the outrage, I'd like to say I'm really in favour of having workplaces child friendly where possible. More time of letting the children spend time with mum or dad, rather than going to corporate childcare.
If any of you are planning an office layout today, make a playroom!
Yeah. For single parents and such maybe. But mostly I want to get back to where you can just live off of one FT income so this whole problem doesn't exist.
Being able to live off one income would be good, though you have to fix the problem where people de-value childcare over paid employment, so the partner staying home doesn't feel 'lesser' from it and dominated by the other. Especially in early months it's better the mum stays with the baby (direct breast feeding is still healthier than expressing milk to feed later), and I think many women still feel that staying home to look after infants is demeaning compared to working a job. We still have some way to go on that!
