bawal na magdala ng bata sa palasyo.
can't help but feel that this is a backlash to a women-friendly office setup. first, flexi-time was scrapped. now, employees are not allowed to bring their kids.
maybe, this is for productivity's sake. parents are not that productive when they bring their kids to work. of course, who would be when the parent's attention would be divided between the boss giving instructions and the kids messing with your papers.
backlash is: househelp are hard to find. and if you do have one, there's always something that would come up that would take the househelp away, like a sick relative, a family member who is giving birth, etc. then who takes care of the kids? usually the mother. but nowadays, some fathers do share in the parenting. so alternately, the parents would take a leave of absence to look after the kids until the house help returns or until another help comes along.
