Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don't care how rich or poor you are. Every parent, and I mean every parent has considered every single friend and family member they could possibly squeeze free child care out of.
Nobody is going to turn down free, reliable child care. Nobody. If a parent isn't already tapping grandma, siblings, and friends, there's a reason for that. Could be ranging anywhere from "Mom also has to work" to "Mom can't keep up with a toddler any more" to "Mom is a fucking psychopath and I cut her out of my life 12 years ago."
This is what happens when you try to mix "inbred hillbilly" with "incoherent moron"
I once got a call from friends at ten in the morning asking if I could go to my goddaughter's mother's Day brunch at the daycare so she wouldn't be alone. Apparently mom couldn't get the day off and grandmall was supposed to go but grandmall fell sick that morning. So I was the hail Mary call and I just happened to be on PTO that day. You're damn right I dropped everything to go have juice and cookies and make bracelets with my girl. Point is that everyone who can and gives a shit is already involved in childcare.
My cousin's wife won't let anyone babysit their kids because it gives her anxiety, except for occasionally a few hours with the grandparents. It's nuts. She really needs to get some therapy before her kids are old enough to have anxiety themselves about being somewhere without her.
