[quote=Anonymous][quote]At 25-40 hours a week you can do both career and family. But, anything more the kids will truly suffer. [/quote] I am working up a theory! The optimal TOTAL working hours of BOTH PARENTS is around 80 hours a week. So it's do-able if both partners work 40 hours or so. But if one partner has a regular 40+ job, the other will need to work less to compensate at home. I think this is the point where you see women leaving the paid workforce - their partners are working too many 40+ hour weeks, and their own job isn't flexible to go enough below 40 to get their combined family working hours below 80. 80 is the magic number! What do you all think? ;)[/quote]
