This is the real life of folks with kids, so if you have coworkers with kids be a bit emphatic, now imagine them doing all this and having to worry because maybe one or more of them happen to be sick. If you have kids, either you become good with time management or life will beat the crap out of you.


On one hand I agree with your statement, on the other hand, kids are a choice.

Should I also be giving people lots of slack for getting drunk and coming to work hungover? That was a choice too.

Don't respond with some biological need nonsense. Last time I checked we're not automatons that slavishly need to fulfill our biological needs.


I can’t tell if you’re trolling, but some people do believe this.

Society benefits from people having (a reasonable number of) children. Without them, humanity is done. Perhaps you think that’s for the best anyway, in which case I wonder why you’re doing anything at all.
