      God yes me too. I didn’t even realize until I came out of university. A 9-5 job is a 9-5:30 job over here (we have a mandatory lunch break of at least 30 minutes if you work more than 6 hours a day, 45 if more than 9). Now calculate in the commute and if you’re lucky you’re at a 8:15-6:15 job.

        Not to mention schools release at like 2:30. Need your kid taken care of after that? It’ll be a few hundred $/mo for an after-school program. Sorry working parents.

        Well, personally I’ve found that to be a bit of a problem, so for some of us it is that we don’t, unless we take like half a day off.
