[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Wake up 6am. Kids don’t wake up until 7am so we have time then. Weekends are largely free. Rare appointments get scheduled.

Not sure why this is interesting.[/quote]

NP. I think people keep responding because you aren’t being totally honest. If your kids wake at 7 and you have to be at work at 8, that doesn’t leave much time to spend with them.   Same with finishing at the office at 5 - then you have commute time, maybe need to stop at the store or get gas, need to make dinner - so when is the ton of time you spend with your kids happening?

It sounds like you probably actually work more like 50 hours a week, and 60 when you are busy. There is no way you are working from 8 pm - 12 am on Friday, and you said yourself that weekends are largely free. So if you had not claimed in your initial post that  you work 80 hours and still spend plenty of time with your kids, people would not have pushed back.  We all know that you can’t work 80 hours a week and still spend tons of time with your kids (and I speak from experience).[/quote]

In our case, we specifically work around family time and maximize evening WFH while kids are sleeping.  Yes, this includes Friday evenings and weekend evenings.  It allows us to spend more time with our kids.  60-80 is quite accurate.[/quote]
