I do not agree. I specifically chose not to have children because I knew of the burdens they would place on my career.

Those who decided to have children should not get treated any differently. They knew what they were signing up for, they do not get to have things both ways.

They also knew there would be a global pandemic that would require them to both educate their children full-time and work full-time.

I fail to see why people think that matters.

Any number of tragedies or inconveniences can happen when you have children. If a perfect life where everything goes according to plan is your requirement for having kids then don’t have them.
