[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly? He need to fix this. It’s unreasonable for him to have this schedule while the kids are young. He needs to get better at his job or be making enough money that he’s hiring babysitters, meal services, cleaners, etc. [/quote]

This shows how very out of touch the DCUM crowd is with the real world. How do you think wives of firefighters, police, paramedics, medical professionals, etc. deal? Get a clue, lady. [/quote]

You forgot to mention chefs. They [b]work long hours and always work holidays[/b]. Their wives are essentially single parents. All the other professions you mentioned have it far easier: union jobs have better hours. All the cops I know in moco moonlight with side gigs (which indicates they aren't working crazy hours).

And airline mechanics!  My friend's husband is one. He works the craziest hours you can imagine.  often has to go to work at 1am. Often gets flown to another city on the spur of the moment to fix a plane. He has worked  every holiday since he became a certified airline mechanic at age 21.

She has her own business and works 12-7, 4 days a week. She  takes the kids to school in the morning and they go to their grandmothers house after school til mom gets  home around 8pm. The mechanic husband is great around the house and with cooking whenever he is not working his crazy airline hours.

The trade-off is that due to her husband's job they can fly anywhere in the world nearly for free. They do, however, have to pay $75 if they wish to fly first class. <grin>
