When I google jobs for moms who are primary care givers I get article after article about how companies give 16 weeks paid parental leave for primary caregivers but that they are not fair to men who are parents. Which is just an eye roll... I’m all for paternity leave, Jesse had it and it was incredible and completely necessary but to say that in response for my 2am google for work I can take my baby to or do from home because I can’t afford child care, that’s incredibly insensitive and sexist. I know it’s just a search engine, but still. How is there not an answer for this yet??? I’m turning 30 this year and still have a roommate! I know part of it is because I only have a bachelor degree... but also, THAT SHOULD GET ME A REAL JOB. While I know that I am very privileged, I do not think my complaint about this is only something I can bring up because of this privilege. If I am struggling with this, as a white, upper middle class, college graduate women who has time to write a blog that no one will read then how much more someone with none of those privileges?! Children are treated as something shameful in the workplace... even for men. If you have the audacity to chose to both work and have children you better not breath a word of their existence or your qualifications will be called into question. I recently applied for a receptionist job at a women's co-working club that touts itself to be mother friendly ("we have a lactation room!"). The bambi was much younger when I applied and I asked if I could bring her with me. Let me be clear, on the list of job requirements was "pillow fluffling"-- this was not a job that was in any way hard to multi task through or dangerous for a child. In fact, it was very much what I do at home every single day. I did not hear back.
