Totally totally agree. It's completely valid that many folks have much more challenging home lives that demand so much energy.
I wonder though if there's a path where sacrificing some amount of time at work could eek out net-positive output over the right timeline.
It's just hard not to feel for seeing folks stuck in the spiral of trying to manage so much. And I just wonder whether -- if, say, their employer gave them the space to do so -- if spending just some time on getting "healthier" could help.
Sitting here on a keyboard in abstract though I'm obviously oversimplifying and can't deny at all how hard things are for folks balancing both a demanding work and home situation.
