Extremely summarised (and cynical) form of the story: twentysomething idealism meets life experience :)
In order to meet the requirements to fulfill the lifestyle desired in the article, it's more than just "workplaces must modernise". It's a societal shift. People have to be prepared for 'work hours' to shorten or move around... from a customer point of view, for example. It's not as simple as waggling a finger at employers - expectations have to be managed at all points in the chain.
- IsaacL 11y agoFunny and accurate summary. I'm 25 (and planning to marry and have children) but I'm realistic about what child-raising will be like, and don't entertain egalitarian fantasies. This is partly because I went through two divorces in my childhood (mum & dad, then mum & stepfather); and also because my parents were quite liberal. People who've had traditional upbringings can daydream about bringing up their own children in a more liberal way, but having lived it from the inside -- it does have advantages but there are also glaring flaws.
