  Let me guess, he has never done any kind of real work (childcare included).

  His party says it is hard work but you should do it for free because it’s “the greatest joy in the world”.

  Hork.

    The thing is, even if that was true, massive amounts of unpaid labor with long commitments done solely for the love of it, are the first things to go when it’s looking like you’re gonna need to pick up more paid labor

  He has never cared for another. A sick partner, a growing child, an infirm parent - he has never really worked a day in someone’s life.

  Sure he has. He watches then for a couple of hours every week and plays with them sometimes when dinner is being cooked.
