[quote=Anonymous]Growing up my dad was a cop and my brother is now. I never noticed I was missing out on anything growing up with my dad working 7-7 Friday, Saturday, Sunday every other weekend. He prioritized time with us the other days. The only time I felt resentful was when he had to work Christmas morning and we had to wait for him to get off work to open presents! My brother does the same. Coaches teams, scout leader, etc. He’s just as interested in being a good dad and caretaker for his family as he is in having a good career.

My husband is a pastor so works every Sunday. We go to church with him so it feels like a family event (obviously not suggesting you take your family to work with your husband though!). He’s off every Friday and uses that partly for his own rest and partly to get house tasks done. Sometimes it’s Costco runs, lawn mowing, picking up, etc. Then on Saturday he occasionally has meetings but most of the time he is home and up for family adventures. His priority is family over work and he knows this is the time we have together. [/quote]
