They seem to be of the opinion that since I don’t have little clones of myself running around that my free time is inherently less valuable.
No Sam, I’m not working two doubles so you can make it to little Timmys fucking music recitals. Bringing that little shit into the world was your fucking choice you dumbass!
Sorry, needed to vent.

Yeah it's just pressure coming down from above on working class parents, and then their only recourse as individuals in lieu of collective action is to try and have fellow workers take some of that weight. Shouldn't resent them too much; time spent with one's kids is important, even if it's dumb recitals.

Literally yes. They do everything within their power to force the cost of education and maintenance of the next generation onto the worker themselves. Think privitizing the cost of higher education (and now elementary/secondary education), pushing the cost of schools onto local property taxes so those who live in an area pay for it and not the companies that employ all of those workers, the dismantling of internal training/development programs and instead forcing workers to pay for their own training/certifications in order to get employed.
