[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with your thinking is that you are assuming that everyone involved in your husband's work situation has kids.  I was a childless working adult for almost twenty years and I did get tired of parents (both men and women) taking the attitude (and it was usually only a small subset that did this) that their family needs trump everyone else's.  Sure sometimes we all need personal time and flexibility, but why should I have to work until 7 every night so that you can get home to have dinner with your kids or make a daycare pick up.  I don't care if you want to leave early and then work those extra three hours in the evening, nut I don't want to do 60 hours of work to your 40 if we are going to be paid the same salary. Everybody makes their own choices, but you can't make other people responsible for your choices.  If your husband is routinely leaving early because of sick kids, he should also be routinely staying late to pull his weight. [/quote]

Yeah, childless adults don't need a life outside the workplace.

[b]The problem lies either with eager beavers who want to work 60 hours and then think everyone else has to work 60 hours, or with a work system that assumes everyone has to work 60 hours -- the eternal crunch mode. The studies have long been known -- productivity tails off after 7-8 hours regardless of the field.

But blame parents and those who think it's abnormal to be working more than 45 hours a week on a routine basis.[/b] [/quote]

BING BING BING!  The childless need not weigh in. . .I'm not trying to have this particular debate with you and your premises are not valid anyway as PP correctly implies.  I worked for someone like you. . .she was miserable and hated her life.  Not exactly something to strive for.[/quote]
