It's not a privilege for parents. Me leaving at 4 or 4.30 doesn't mean someone else has to work until 6PM. That's the key. My childless colleagues leave at 5 or 5.30, every day of every year. And they start later because their morning routine is different. It's true that I'm privileged, but the privilege starts with an important culture of "no one does more than 40h, period". Without that, you have no chance to have a healthy work life balance as a parent or as a non-parent.
