Grimes Suggests We "Normalize Having Kids In Adult Work Spaces" And Says Her 2-Year-Old Son Attends Engineering Meetings

Grimes is known for her eccentric taste and interests (she even expressed interest in getting a surgery that will give her elf-like ears), and she named her son X Æ A-Xii and her daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk. She and Elon have a unique relationship; they're not a couple but they still coparent their children together. When People reported on Elon bringing his 2-year-old son to a meeting with him at Twitter, there was a negative connotation as if the decision was unprofessional or inappropriate. Grimes responded with her thoughts.

Grimes Suggests We "Normalize Having Kids in Adult Work Spaces" and Says Her 2-Year-Old Son Attends Engineering Meetings

People shared photos of Elon bringing his son to a meeting, reporting that he was running around Twitter headquarters while Elon was still in a meeting. Grimes quote tweeted the person who shared the article and suggested that we all become more comfortable with having kids in an office.

"We shud normalize having kids in adult work spaces. Baby joy is contagious for adults, amazing to have at work and they learn so much," she tweets. "Win win for all. X shadows engineering/ strategy meetings. can identify obscure rocket design, knows all abt grid fins, entry burns, robots [sic]."

Grimes also talks about how she believes children shouldn't be just kept at home. "We over shelter kids and it harms parents too," she tweets. She says it would be "amazing" if all work spaces had "baby areas" so that children can see how the office world is and "parents aren't burdened with so many childcare costs when at work."

Grimes also says that all childcare is "a huge tax on parents." The parent either stays home and sacrifices their career or they pay a fortune for a nanny or daycare. "Would be so cool if it was easier for kids to be in adult spaces more," she tweets.

The United States doesn't federally mandate paid parental leave when a mother or father welcomes a child into the world, and this is something that many parents complain about. Grimes believes setting up childcare stations at offices (with adult supervision, of course) will allow parents to continue their career while also being near their children for the majority of the day. Elon and Grimes are raising their kids unconventionally, and there will undoubtedly be more moments in which Elon brings his children to the office, which might spark a national conversation about how we should approach childcare. While not everyone may agree with Grimes' solution to the problem, we can all agree that there certainly is a problem that leaves many parents high and dry when it comes to caring for their children during work hours.
