[quote=Anonymous]We have four kids.  Mine is very involved and always has been, though in earlier years his scheduled allowed less.  He does work at least some of most days (and covid has really blurred those lines), but will wake up at 5 am on a weekend to do it or stay up after the kids are in bed.  We have also had cleaning and yard help since our kids were young.  He has always attended school conferences and back to school nights and most school concerts, and was at weekend games, drove older kids to school, helped with bedtime, did late (7:30 pm or later) carpool pickups, threw in loads of laundry, etc.  As our kids got older and he had more control over his schedule, he attended some afternoon school games, chaperoned weekend tournaments and was home by 8 pm or so.  We didn't have a lot of family dinners during the week (and he has never helped with cooking), but that was as much about our kids' practice schedules as it was his work schedule.  We both prioritize being there for our kids and each other.

And before someone pipes in with their negativity, he is pretty senior (management) at a big multi-national firm and makes over $2m/year.[/quote]
