[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It helps to have set times, like 7-9am, so you don’t have to “find the time.”

But it would wear on me. [/quote]

My husband works at night and some weekdays during his busy period.  He also travels constantly during a 4-5 month period of the year.  Our one child is old enough that we have playdates so if he is at a friends house my husband will work then, if the kid is over here, our child doesn't care to see my DH so he works and I watch the kids.  He attends sporting events and is around, but there is a busy period.  When our child goes to sleep at 7:30 he usually goes to the gym for an hour then goes straight back to work (he gets home around 6) or works from home.  Last night he worked until 2am, but usually he will work until 11PM.

I had to change jobs so we had someone around.  I have friends who both have busy jobs and they send their kid to daycare and have a nanny come every sunday morning so they can workout, go to brunch, and do a bit of work.  They also have a nanny come maybe 1-2x in the evening on a saturday, but there child is 3 years old.

When I had a busier job I would wake up at 5 AM, work out, then do extra work from 6-7:30 when our child woke up.  [/quote]
