and Congress can set a good example.

In today's economy, the pressures of work often interfere with the basic family life of members of the labor force (and, whatever the color of your collar, you are "labor" as long as you have a boss concerned about productivity). This is a development harmful to society.

Democrats have led the way in addressing this problem, such as supporting Family Leave. It's a popular part of the Democratic agenda. I wouldn't knock somebody for wanting to balance work and family.
