Ah, another relevant post
You have a point here, however, should parents think of their children when choosing / changing their carreers? For instance, I can imagine a mother or father not wanting to teach at the same school their kid goes to.
Also, shouldn't parents take steps to prepare their children for the effects of this, or find ways to minimize the problems?
Besides that, another example would be two people both working 80+ hours a week. Should they have children, even though their never being around will most likely have a very severe impact on the kids?
