Letter: Work or family

Sir: Living together with a mortgage and having a family while both working is a matter of choice. Do those whom you favour with your skills have to be grateful and run their businesses to your convenience?

It would appear that the "what I want I want now" culture is running up against the buffers of reality. If one wishes to indulge in all that's on offer, and that costs money, sacrifices have always had to be made; so let us have a little less whingeing.
