[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t have a clue what someone has going on in their lives and assuming that someone with no kids has more free time than someone without kids is ridiculous. People coach, have second jobs, could be caring for other family members. This is not a fair assumption.[/quote]

But ultimately having kids means you have less free time overall than someone without kids. Get real.[/quote]

I think you're the one who needs to get real. As others have said, you have no clue what someone has going on in their personal lives.

My former neighbor, a teacher, worked full-time, then went home to care for her husband who was suffering from ALS (they had a daytime CNA). She certainly had zero "free time," probably even less than someone with small children.

[b]My cousin, a teacher, worked a second job from 4pm- 9pm four days per week, plus ten-hour days on both Saturday and Sunday. That's a second full-time job. She had very little "free time."[/b]

It doesn't matter, though. It is [u]no one else's business[/u] how much "free time" someone has, and anyone even implying that someone without children should be able to do more work than is required, is inappropriate and a violation of their privacy.

If your cousin had kids she would not have the “free time” to take that second job. She is choosing to take a second job in her free time it appears. [/quote]

Her spouse could take care of the kids during that time. I know two teachers at my school who go to jobs after school until 8pm. Their spouses pick the kids up from after care at 6pm. They aren’t doing this for fun. [/quote]

The PP said her teacher cousin works 4-9 pm 4 days a week during the week and then 10 hours on Sat and Sun in addition to a full time teaching job. Sorry, this isn’t plausible at all if she has kids. The whole thing sounds made up as is.[/quote]
