    “Employees without children deserve the exact same treatment and flexibility as those with children” sounds to me very much like its saying the flexibility should be for everyone.

      And I think if childless people were saying my grandmother has a fever and her ALF won’t keep her today because of it, they’d be allowed the exact same remote allowances that a parent in their office is afforded. But if a childless person wants the same number of hours regardless of why, that’s not the same flexibility.

        Thare are too many different forms of employment to list every possible situation, but a simple example is flexitime being available to everyone and not just parents.

        Also if you don’t currently have benefits like that would you expect to get them when you have kids? Not having them might impact planning choices.
