Its not an excuse, parents really do, or should, have less time available than someone without kids.
The real problem is people thinking they need to justify their time off at all. Its either possible or not, and a worker either fits into a role or doesn't. Playing games is for children, if someone needs time off then they need it, its not up for debate.
And they chose this. I didn't choose not to have kids so I'd be more available to cover shit at work. I did it so I'd have as much free time as possible to enjoy my life.
Then don't be pissed off when managers schedule those with more free time more often, or call them in more often.
Its also hilarious to assume every childbirth is intentional.
It's part of the sexism that is barely under the surface of childfree communities. Harder to punish women for their life choices if they have to think about the many reasons one may find themselves burdened with a child.
