Thank God you don't live here. I bet you could never sleep, you would just sit curled up in the darkest corner of your room, thinking of all those poor children, who have horrible, uncaring, cruel,
working parents.
What is even more terrible is that they grow up to be completely normal people.
They go to work - kids or no kids - pay their taxes and keep the country running.
It is not about how much time parents spend time with the child, it is the quality of that time that matters. I'm not saying that it is good, if child has to be alone from 7am to 10:30pm, 'cause it is not. Still, gluing one of the parents at home just because of a child* - if other arrangements can be done and the child can be properly taken care of - is more than stupid, I think. It's not putting the role of a parent as second. Caring parents can raise their kids to be normal, even if they work. And uncaring ones make their kids miserable no matter what.
*If neither of them wants to do that
