[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]or you could have a demanding job AND two young kids.[/quote]

Honestly, the people I know who have this long term, only one of the spouses has this, and the other either is SAH parent (mom usually, let's face it), works from home part time, or somehow has tons of flexibility.  Or they make enough money to hire out some of their problems (in-home nanny, cleaning person, etc.)

Let's just say i still have a demanding job even though it is "only" about 40-50 hours a week, generally.  Luckily it ebbs and flows, so that if on some weeks/projects it is 50-55 hours, some weeks it is 40 or I got a work from home day.  I also can sometimes catch up at night or on weekends, depending on the work.  I also make less than 100k/a year so it's not like I'm raking in the bucks.  I also have a spouse with an equally demanding job/similar pay.

I'm just saying, again, I feel like it's hard enough, esp. given that I want a family life as well, and my two single friends in particular with demanding jobs don't get the concept of still having a hard job even if you're not paid $300k+.[/quote]
