Right. A survey showed that parents usually expect that children want more time with them instead of work, but that that's not usually what children want:
"One of Galinsky's more surprising findings centered around a question she posed to both children and parents: "If you were granted one wish to change the way your mother's/your father's work affects your life, what would that wish be?" Some 56 percent of parents anticipated that their children would want more time with their parents and for their parents to spend less time at work, yet only 10 percent of the children actually wanted more time with their mothers and only 16 percent wanted more time with their fathers. A far larger proportion, 34 percent, wished that their mothers would be less stressed and less tired, and 28 percent wished this about their fathers." - http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2008/05/listen_to_the_c.html http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2008/05/listen_to_the_c....

- jmathai 12y agoI would think there's a high correlation between working more and being stressed or tired. Wanting less of the latter doesn't negate the former.
