Not really...its not missing the point. Its that not everyone places
the quantification of quality of family life on being able to spend
two weeks vacation with them. Some (like I) place it on the level of
the quality of life I can give all the other 50 weeks, and if that
means sacraficing a week to increase my income X amount, which goes
back to the family anyway, I'm fine with that.

(or understand it), but appartently, they do not agree with mine, and
that's fine too.
