You also have no idea how it may/may not affect MY family so please don't try to assume how it would affect me.

I said that as untill you are in the situation where you're faced with the prospect of having to act you may feel differently, I thought it was a little flippant and dismissive just to simplify it down to hours worked. It's quite obviously more complex than that.
You're assuming things annie, if you can do it we all can.
I don't like the way all sections of society are being steamrollered atm, education, health and welfare all the things implemented to protect us from the five giants, take them away and for our kids the future suddenly looks very bleak.
