People with kids easily forget the "unofficial" flexible benefits they sometimes receive - take kids to work when sitter not available once in a while, leave early more often, sometimes get preference to take vacations when kids are off from school, extra help from sympathetic co-workers when something comes up, etc. It is what it is - just gotta deal with it and try not to get aggravated. It isn't going away.
