just my personal opinion but today's 40hr work week is very hard on the family unit. The reason I say this is because a couple raising a child each working 40hrs a week is in the bad position of having baby sitters, grandparents and daycare's having as much or more influence on the child.
I think the work week should be lowered to 32hrs a week. anything over 32 should be overtime. I know they did this many years ago when the work week was like 48 hours, it may be time again.
for instance most days I seem my girl for about 6 hours while she is awake. there are days my wife see's our little girl a total of 2 1/2 hours while the sitter is seeing her for 8 hours while she is awake.
we wonder what is wrong with the family unit and kids today, well I think this is one of the big reasons we see some of the things we see now. Companies wanting more and more while giving less and less to the employees. They want our world to be work first and family second. All companies want production and could care less about anything more.
I remember when places of business were closed on Sundays.
