[quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with the earlier poster who said everyone should tune out the noise and do what is best for their family, first and foremost.

One thing that I do find troubling is the notion of spouse never having unexpected interruptions that can cause a work conflict.  The reality is that most of us have to deal with these conflicts at some point, so if a supervisor never has to themselves, he/she can have unrealistic expectations of the challenges others are facing. I see this a lot in my national security agency where retired marine colonels who had SAHWs and are now SES are often so unsupportive of paternity leave for their male staff.  Not everyone with a SAHP does this of course, but I don't think we should hold up as virtuous the notion that the working parent should never have to roll with change.  That makes work the center of life, not the family.  And it sets others in the work force up to a bar that is so hard to meet if you do have an issue with last minute travel, sick kids, etc.   Just something to think about, as people work through their own list of pros and cons.[/quote]
