And you are echoing my point exactly with your last sentence. Some accommodation by others is required so you can raise your kids.

Most of us don't think that raising a kid is
easy. I am pretty sure that it's not. However, it is an added responsibility, not a
substituted one. You want kids? Fine, great, awesome. However, that means you are going to have to do more then someone who doesn't have kids, and it's not the 'job' of someone who doesn't have kids (or is managing them better/different) to make up your lack.
Yes, we all have to be understanding of our co-workers, that's how work works better. But if I cover for you so that every Tuesday you can go and get little Johnny off to hockey practice, you better remember that every other Thursday is 'Date Night', and you get to return the favor.
