i suggest making your boundaries clearer. Let people know from the get-go that you're not gonna pick up their slack. Make sure you have a paper/email trail of what these people are expected to do and when they're expected to do it. If you're in the position, let them know that they'll be let go or not hired again if they fall short of your expectations.
Sounds like one of two things are happening for you. 1) You are encountering an inordinate number of extremely selfish people who happen to be parents or 2) your personality (if it's anything like what you've exhibited here) is such that regular people don't mind dumping work on you. This isn't really an insult, it's just a fact that if you like a co-worker, you are more likely to value their opinion and less likely to create additional work for them. If your coworker is not endearing to you whatsoever, their opinion has no value, so you feel free-er to do fuckall to them.When it's all said and done, yeah, kids are more important than work. Period. If whomever's employing me doesn't like my priorities, fire me.
