Not only that.....I assume people without children take holidays too and those with children have to cover their work then....they also take sick days....etc etc...some of the worst "sickie chuckers" in my experience don't do it due to kids....

But on the other handi agree with Livia, in if it's not a prerequisite of getting a position with these companies I guess it's each to their own....
