see, that was my precisely point though, so thanks Aly for helping to clarify it. My dad worked shifts my entire life, and every month was a new dynamic and big adjustment for the whole family. And that's what my point is, just look at the adjustments and compensation in families where the men work shifts.
I'm saying therefore, if you take into consideration that we're talking about extended periods of absence here, the problem would compound exponentially, becoming a major factor.
