Are you married?  Children?  Household or family help around the house?
How many hrs do you work a week?

Thanks[/quote]

All good questions. I am married and have two children, although both happened later in life. We have a housekeeper who comes once a week, a gardener, and an au pair. I do work a lot, but the work fluctuates. For example, I was in trial earlier this year and did not see my family for weeks. But I also traveled with my kids for 3 weeks this summer. Last year was a killer and I averaged 55h/week. This year is quieter and I've barely worked since my trial. I expect to be right around 45h/w this year.[/quote]

Yea, not seeing your family for “weeks” is no way to be a parent.  Traveling with the kids for “three weeks” doesn’t make up for that.  I mean, many many many parents travel for three weeks with their kids without also disappearing for weeks on end. [/quote]

Stop the shaming.  It doesn't make her a bad parent.  Dads do this all the time.  Kids are not scarred from parents who work hard as long as the parent can maintain a loving relationship with them.  Calm down with the judgments.  What may work for some families might not work for another.[/quote]

Excuse me?   I didn’t say it made her a bad mother; I said it made her a bad parent.  I don’t care what the gender is – it is not typical for parents not to see their families “for weeks” unless they are off to war or something.   I don’t know any parent like that.[/quote]

DP. I did not see my dad many years for months. It happens. Stop shaming. [/quote]

Just because it happens doesn’t make it right or good.  [/quote]
