The childless need weekends too!
In a recent career couch section of the NYT, advice was given to workers who are asked to pick up the slack for their co-workers with family commitments. When asked to work overtime or on the weekend, what should you do? One answer made our hearts sing. "Your first option is to say no."
Yep. Just say no in the timeless words of Nancy Reagan. How liberating. No guilt. No lame excuses. No justification. What a concept. Your free time is just as valuable as theirs. And legally, flextime is flextime, whether you are picking up kids or picking up a bottle of wine.

That is totally true, I am made to feel as though my time is less important because i do not have children. I'm always the last person to leave because somebody has to pick up "todd" from school or start dinner for the family. I'm even made to feel guilty for asking for a raise because i "don't have anybody to support." It pisses me off so much!!
