"Lastly, I commuted for years to my office and missed much of my kids “growing up” while I was stuck in traffic or at work, leaving before they woke up and not getting home till seven at night. They are teens now and I realize that the time I missed with them when they were young, is time I will never get back."

but it was okay to expect nurses and doctors to be there for your every whim and call, or for the restaurant workers to be available, or the cops to patrol, because none of these people have children....

geez louise...talk about self absorbed..cry me a river....

do you know how many Christmas mornings are "missed" by doctors,cops, nurses, and firemen?......

LOL those jobs all work standard workweeks too, none of them are 24/7. And what the heck kind of straw man argument is it to bring in other people to try to negate the regret I feel at missing my kids growing up. Talk about a nonsensical argument.

And lastly I do not expect any of those individuals to be at my beck and call whenever I want them to be. I think it is fair to assume that there is more than one of each of them doing those jobs.
