Scheduling Technology Leaves Low-Income Parents With Hours of Chaos

Man, that's sad. i want to help that person but am afraid it would compound the issue.

Having capital and having children is difficult. It must be pure brutality without the choices enabled by free cash flow.

man, we've all been through that. The only difference it use to be the man with a stay at home mom working himself to death. Now it is a single mother.

At least then, he worked all the crazy jobs on call at any time, and he had a stay at home wife to deal with the kids.

What pissed me off was I was working my butt off so my kids could have a stay home wife, and on top of that, they wanted me to pay for single mothers who needed daycare.

Those starbucks jobs and many others only exist because they can find people who are willing to make the sacrifice.

The writers of these articles won't be happy until everybody has a "job." They don't know how to create one and they can't imagine anything beyond one. They just look down on the masses and shallowly in their elitist fashion think, "They all need jobs." And then they mistakenly think it is the taxpayers job to give money to the government to create one.
 
like for instance my single mother daughter stopped by to visit me today and I asked, "Where's the kid?"

She said, "He's in daycare."

I erupted, "Can you even imagine what we could have accomplished if we had just put you in daycare?"

But back then we felt it was important for a stay at home mother to raise the children, so we gave up a lot.

Now I'm not so sure.

I just don't like it when elitists think we are so weak that we are at the mercy of our employer.
