@TechnoAnarchist I'm not too sure about this course of thought. I think having kids is a great conservative power. "my children first" ; so...
"I can't lose my job, I can't go on strike, I can't sabotage... It'd be fine if it was just me but... My children !"
The most miserable people I've saw trying to work "no matter what" (even when their bodies were giving up) were fathers wanting to "bring bread to their family" (weird sacrifice ritual or something). Pretty sure mothers do that even more.
