I think more goes on than a lack of understanding on the part of the outside person. I think there is often a concern over finances. As a single parent, where does the extra money come from for extra childcare/babysitting. Not everyone has understanding grandparents to dump the kids at. I think there's a guilt issue over time spent away from the kids, maybe wasted time, or time borrowed from important family matters. I don't think the baggage issue is any differnt for anybody toaday. Don't we all have pasts; don't we all have baggage?
