Nobody has anything against parents getting these benefits or is saying that they don't need them. What's the problem is that everyone should be getting them, parents or not.
I can agree with that as far as it goes. In some workplaces there can be zero sum cases where someone has to be on duty. If it comes to that someone who has a sick kid to look after should get the flexibility over the person who doesn’t. And hey if the parent’s kid is not sick, and the childless person’s grandmother is, then THEY should get the flexibility.
Just stop saying that you need all the same flexibility as parents. You don’t.
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.
