That Huffington Post piece of “images of what it’s really like to be a working parent” for the most part seem wildly unrepresentative of most peoples’ actual experiences as working parents. There are a whole bunch of photos of people bringing their kids to work, and babies sleeping on parents during conference calls. And yes those make for cute photo ops but where are the photos of, you know, DAYCARE? or nannies? or any hint that when people hold down jobs they need actual child care and can’t just bring their baby to a meeting? I’m sure this is just a poorly written headline but it really annoyed me.

Agreed, I thought this story was so stupid. Most working parents do NOT have jobs like that, and also, they outgrow the baby phase super fast (in the relative scheme of things).

I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t judge, but one of those is captioned that the kid is “waiving” from a conference table…
