If you are a single parent and the other parent skipped town or is dead and you are a nurse/firefighter/surgeon then yeah I totally get it. I am not talking about you. I am talking about people I have personally interviewed needing 10-12 hours of care for absolutely no logical reason.

Just had an interview, they needed 10 hours of care. Mom is a manager at a drugstore, dad owns his own paving business. They can’t stagger their hours? They both work 10 hours a day? Don’t think so. I have worked retail so I know the difference, and managers generally get there first in the morning and then leave early.

Anyway I feel like some people can think of any excuse as to why someone would need that much care...astronaut? But I am past being naive about 99% of parents intentions.
