I worked 8:30 to 5:00 for seven years…….one hour commute each way on public transpotation……
no problem….some people just want to whine .

I worked 60-70 hours a week summers during university and something close to that for a half dozen or so years while starting a school.
At times that can be fine in the long-term, but if I was planning on having a large family I wouldn’t want more than five years of that over a span of about 30 years raising kids. My dad was gone 50-65 hours a week when I was growing up. Gone between 5 and 6 AM most days, home between 5 and 5:30, and having to work some overnight and weekend shifts on top of that. On the whole, I thought it a bit much.
