[quote=Anonymous]I did the same when my kids were in 1st and 3rd grade. It was super to see my kids start to ask DH to help them with daily tasks - and made them much closer over all - even ten years later. DH was happy to do it - and created a very tight bond with DD and DS. But I would echo PP 4:50 - you'll need to work harder to see/hear your kids. Make time for them so it's clear they are the priority. My kids still remember the worst of my previous job - the long hours, the calls at home, the travel. Dedicating time to spend one-on-one and with the whole family was really important. In HS, I stepped back again and had a job much more flexible to be available when the kids were.[/quote]
