And yeah, what I wrote wasn’t articulated as well as it should have been given my state. But I agree. The labor of raising the next generation of humans is labor. Mostly unpaid, unappreciated labor. You should get more leeway for that. Like, constitutionally. Pay them folk. The point I was making wasn’t supposed to be that parents do or do not get more leniency, I mainly was just loopy from the lightning in my skull and was rambly about how the way we treat labor in general fucking sucks and that being more firm when you tell an employer that they don’t get to decide when you’re available is damn near a life hack at this point
Thanks! I hated it!
