I am that unemployed mother taking up your daycare spaces
When we’re working we insist that childcare is essential in furthering our kids’ development. Why would that stop being true when you’re not working?
“Have a good day at preschool,” I call as my daughter skips off to play with her friends.
I sign her in, check the pocket, and stroll back across the road to my house where a fresh hot chocolate and a pair of slippers are calling my name.
For most of my adult life, I have resented women like me.
