Even without kids I work like this. Just because I'm not a parent doesn't mean I'm going to take on work that could potentially stress me out eat into vacation

Even without kids I work like this. Just because I'm not a parent doesn't mean I'm going to take on work that could potentially stress me out eat into vacation time...
It seems like more of a work-life balance philosophy thing than parenting thing, I simply couldn't imagine working more than 50% of the year but others are content doing 60hr weeks with 2 week vacation.
If that's what makes them happy then power to them.
- dmje 7y agoTotally agree. But I think the discussion / original article here posed the question regarding kids. Totally up for workaholic-ism if that's your bag (and it was mine when I was in my 20's and childless) - but in the case of this article I'd question why have kids in the first place if your focus is going to be entirely on work. I know sometimes this just happens but it feels dangerous to the sanity and wellbeing of the kids involved.
