It's more that family demands tend to be less friendly to time shifting. You can't just put off feeding your kids, grounding them for getting into trouble, or changing their wet sheets at 2 a.m.
Single people (and empty nesters to be fair) can more often skip some happy hours or some intramural games.
And to be even more fair, once employed, it seems parental excuses (my kids blah blah) get more understanding than single excuses (I need to actually date, my boyfriend blah blah). But I'll wager the interview process is more complicated for people with families.
- mevile 8y agoFamily obligations taking up time I can understand, but the person I am replying to just seemed to equate 40s as being in a state of having less energy without mentioning family obligations. I am taking issue with 40's being a state where you have less energy. I don't believe it is true, unless there's an underlying health condition that has little to do with age.
