As mentioned in another comment, not everyone had this choice. Parents' time is bound to the school's schedule. Many jobs inherently don't cover this flexibility. Think construction, health care, public transit, education. It's really a very large percentage of the population, but one that's underrepresented on HN. I have none of these constraints and in fact shifted my schedule by 2 hours without any problem. So it can be hard to see the very different reality and guard rails others have to deal with.
