Why on earth bother to have children, then leave them with someone else all day
Because it's not all day. People only usually work about 40 hours a week. There's another 80 to spend at home with loved ones.
This is how life is. Adults have to work. Kids have to go to school. Then we get together in the evening to spend time together.
I haven't suggested they should. Some people are genuinely fulfilled by spending all their time looking after small children & doing domestic stuff. I think more probably have intellectual needs, professional ambitions, or simply a need to do something productive with adults too.
How patronising to suggest that those whose kids are their prioritiy are somehow less intellectual
I'm not. I'm suggesting looking after small children all day is not a way to satisfy intellectual needs, not that people who do that don't have any.
And kids are nearly everyone's priority. Mine was still my priority when I was studying and working. I just needed to be studying and working too.
