[quote=Anonymous]Well, for one thing, you should keep a joint calendar so she knows a little in advance what you have going on. She shouldn't have to ask the day before what's on your plate--that's a failure on your part. You need to be proactive with sharing details, marking nights as unavailable for work occasionally if she wants something on her evening calendar, etc. How many nights a week are we talking here? You might talk with your wife and try to set some boundaries so she knows you are trying to be around, but sometimes there will be busy periods, etc. And, frankly, a little sympathy for your wife and any indication from you that you'd like to be spending time with your wife and child might help too. My DH has some rough hours periodically, but we weather it because I know he misses us and he makes up for it in other ways during less busy periods.[/quote]
