[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP basically you have made nothing of yourself in life and as a result, have lots of free time on your hands.   Congratulations.  [/quote]

I think you are typical of exactly the kind of problem OP was talking about. She's structured her life in a way that makes sense to her such that she doesn't have to run around fruitlessly. She is indeed owed congratulations![/quote]

The irony of someone who doesn't have a paid job saying she's not crazy busy. Of course not. Duh. Try adding a 50 hour a week work and commute commitment and add even one volunteer commitment on top of raising kids and maintaining a marriage, and get back to me.[/quote]

Yep, as a PP said, your choices. I would rather have slightly less material wealth than work a 50 hour week with a commute. I'm perfectly happy with my 35-40 hours (picked an employer who doesn't watch my clock, is happy to see me leave when the work is done). Also, there are plenty of people with the same essential responsibilities as me who ARE putting in 50+ hour weeks. That's straight up time management and job suitability. I won't go chasing a new job that I can't perform efficiently, and I won't bitch about how "busy" I am. Have the overwhelmed PPs considered taking a voluntary demotion to a job they can handle in a reasonable amount of time? I know a few people who have done that, and are much happier. [/quote]
