That reminds me of the old dot com days. It was expected that everyone was going to work like pigs, nights & weekends. Most of them were kids in their 20s with no families. I, on the other hand, was in my 30s and had kids. I went home, regularly. It freaked people out.

I had my first kid since I was 24.
Actual conversation:
"You're going home early? I'm not leaving till 7pm."
"Do you have kids?"
"Euhm. No."
"Then don't try to understand my situation."
😀
I am perceived as lazy because I leave early to pick my child up from school (4pm). They forget that I have been in since 715am.

I have had the same issue before.
Once I had to leave a meeting that was running late (what a surprise) because I had to pick up my kids.
They all looked at me like "Can't your wife do that?"
Not their business if my wife can or cannot pick up my kids.
