How many of you have a child? How many of you NEED to work to support the child? It is easy to chastise other people for not being able to take time off from their work to take care of their kids or to criticise them for not having "planned" better when things have turned out alright for you. Life is not always easy, some people don't have the luxury of a choice between a hundred job or of being in a position to be able to negotiate time off with their bosses. Sure they should change bosses, but that's easier said than done!. Sophie Quigley ...!{clyde,ihnp4,decvax}!watmath!saquigley
