söndag.
this week i have been working at a daycare for elementary school kids.
ive started to wonder about our society today.
how is it that people drop their kids off at 6.30 in the morning and pick them up at 5 in the afternoon?
paying for others to take care of your own kids. day after day.
working 40h/week so that you can buy everything you think you need, sending your kids to daycare in order to do so and then look forward to the five weeks of the summer when you can "actually" hang out with them and go on a vaccation.
i do realize that this is an extreme side of things. many people need daycare sometimes or for a particular season of their life. and it's not all bad.
but when it becomes the majority of where the kids spend their time (except for sleeping) then i think we should reconsider out priorities.
do we need to work 40h/week? really?
in order to have enough for clothes, food and a place to sleep?
or do we need to work 40h/week so that we can buy STUFF.
work gets the best and when we get home we are just tired.
again, it's not like this for everyone. but for a lot of people.
i guess its easy to think and reflect on this when im not in the situation myself.
but i dont want to work more than i need to. or pay for someone else to take care of my kids for the majority of the day.
maybe thats all i needed to say?
