Issues like lack of health insurance, lack of sick and parental leave, and the school day ending at 3pm when work ends at 5 or 6pm are common problems that many families deal with on a daily basis. These are a result of policy choices. It affects single people (single people get sick too), families with 2 working adults (not all jobs have health insurance, who can take early off of work everyday to pick up the kids, one adult may require care taking at some point in their life), families with 1 working adult (if the insurance provider loses their job that can jeapordize health insurance for the entire family).

I don't see how discussing these issues is "narcissistic". Aligning the school day with typical work hours seems like a reasonable policy change and ensuring the people can afford healthcare aren't just whimsical lifestyle choices.
