That's certainly true, but orthogonal to what I'm talking about. It's one thing to downshift your career because you want to spend more time with your kids. It's another thing to do so because you tell (incorrectly) that working long hours is "not compatible with family life." My objection is to people who justify downshifting because of imagined benefits to the kids, not real benefits to themselves.
