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]

God this is so pathetic.  You’d never say this to military parents right? What doctors who do doctors w out borders? They’re just terrible parents inherently?

Or what abt migrant workers who leave their families for months or even years?  Just awful?

Just get over yourself, you don’t know everything and you selectively judge people based on your uninformed views.

+1 my a$$.   You’re insulting Doctors Without Borders (who are volunteering) and migrant workers (who are desperate to support their families) by comparing your greed and what you’re willing to sacrifice for big money to them. [/quote]

No….just no. You don’t get to decide who are “good parents” and who are not based on your opinions about the nobleness or admirability of their careers. Every doctor without border has an option to not travel and work closer to home with their kids, but they choose not to do so.  A lawyer who has a trial and is gone the same amount of time isn’t a worse parent because they’re doing a trial to keep their job and support their family.  I’m so sick of the moral policing on this site of posers who think they know everything about everyone based on a few words on a website and a know-it-all world view.  Hope you enjoy riding off into that sunset while you ride yourself off that cliff, clueless cowboy.  I wish you could have mire intellectual wherewithal, but you obviously fall in the “often wrong, but never uncertain” category.[/quote]
