Why do people with children always explain give you a list of why they're so busy because they have children and how you should make allowances (essentially pick up more of the work because you don't have children)? As if your life, and your 30 jobs and the demands of your family and personal life are less because you don't have children? What if you don't have children but are still the sole provider for your family? I find it annoying since having children is a joy and a choice...your wonderful life filled with children is not more intense or more important than someone else's who doesn't have children...
Presenting the children factor is a nice way of saying, "I'm prioritizing in my life and you or this job are not a priority" which is fine. Because that's what it means to make the decision to have children, they have to come first. Just make your children the priority and so "no." It means missing out on something, but that's the nature of prioritizing....do it guilt-free and you, the kids and us single folks will appreciate it a lot more....
We give up one thing to have another. That's sort of the balance of the universe.
