The unspoken assumption in both this thread and the 40-hour week one that anyone who sacrifices family or personal time for work is a bad parent is, quite frankly, elitist crap. Sexist too, because it's the mothers who face the brunt of criticism.
agree 100%. With 2 kids, 57k a month in a house loan to pay off, etc etc I'm sort of glad both sets of parents, mine and my wife's, live close enough to help take care of the kids. and as for 40 hours - whoever wrote that bull hasn't had to work with teams that are based half in the USA and half in hong kong, I see .. nor has he had to really work for a living. As in - if the tasks he has on his plate fill 40 hours a week no more, no less, he's really lucky, or maybe partially employed with a decent private income from somewhere that lets him work 40 hours a week.
