CHILD ALIMONY is the money needed to pay not for childish things but for the ABSENCE of #housekeeping and #parenting #labor of the divorcing parent.
in a divorce, all the labor of the parent who leaves now falls on the custodial parent ―this was Adam Smith’s biggest sin: to not account for the monetary value of housekeeping & parenting.
DIVORCED MOTHERS are some of the poorest workers in USA.
all this to say: don’t burden kids with their parents debts. to help, gift them.
I’m the parent of a one year old child. I’ve received several invitations to speak at workshops and conferences this year, and not one has been willing or able to accommodate me giving a remote talk.
Did we learn nothing from the pandemic? And if I with all my privilege (and being gallus enough to ask) can’t do it, what hope for precarious, early career, minoritised academics?

I keep reiterating how sex positive I am. You know, to freak out my kids
"No, I don't want to go to bed. I can't. I'm TOO TIRED! to go to bed".

What a terrible country we have here in the US. A young black dad needed to go to a job interview and couldn't afford a baby sitter for his 3 kids and didn't have time to take them home before his meeting bc he also can't afford a car.
So they walked to McDonald's next to his job interview to let them play while he went to the interview.
When he returned he was arrested and may still be in jail rn.
