My wife's experience:
PI: "You put your kid in front of the TV for 2 hours a day to get stuff done? That's terrible parenting."
PI: "You will be late 1 day for a meaningless group presentation to your own lab, because your child is sick and can't go to daycare? Get your priorities straight."
- lixtra 8y agoWhy was it your wife’s problem when the child was sick and not yours? EDIT: Sorry, I just assumed that you didn’t equally stay at home when the kid was sick. How did your boss react when you didn’t show up?

- zanny 8y agoRaising children is a full time job. The broader problem is that the discipline is not at all treated as a profession. Instructors for those children are recognized professionals, but the guardians are not. If you want to be good parents though, it is your imperative to put your kids above all else, which will naturally dissatisfy any members of the "all else" who don't have your well being and success as their priority.
