[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you should certainly bring it up.

In my family our scenarios are reversed (I, DW, make more). I wake up at 5am and get home by 6pm so I can be with the kids and family. Then when they go to bed at 8pm, I'm back on the computer as long as I can stand it. He doesn't work after leaving the office. Believe me, DH would have ZERO problem bringing up workload allocations to me just because he makes less. In fact, I'd say our workload around the house was equal.

I make the sacrifice of sleep/personal time in order to be there for my kids and family. People make the choices that are right for them, but if you feel like his particular schedule could be modified somewhat, you should say it. You could also suggest small changes, like he gets home to do an activity with the kids, and then gets back on the computer, or he picks 1 weeknight each week to be home by 5:30, etc. Sometimes small changes have a large impact.[/quote]

And realize that these things can have consequences for him career-wise. Nothing exists in a vacuum.[/quote]
