fingertroubleHaving hear months of 'X has a child' this strikes a chord:
Suffer the little children
"Why has Colleague X been given a parking space?"
"Because she has children. She has to do the school run."
"And that would be why she gets her teaching scheduled for post-10am and pre-4pm?"
"Yes, she has to arrange child care."
"And that would be why she's done no research for five years, and why we have to cover for her at the drop of a hat?"
"Er, yes."
LISTEN UP BREEDERS! So you gave the gift of a child to the world. Thanks a fucking bunch. It doesn't make you special, it doesn't make you a better person, it does not give you some unique and lofty perspective on the world, and it certainly should not entitle you to a bloody car parking space. You made a lifestyle choice; deal with it. And if you ever, ever say to me "if you had kids you'd understand" then I'll unleash the paedophiles.
