[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My good friend's husband is a doctor who has to work many weekends.  His schedule varies but they make it work.  He spends lots of time with the kids.  The kids are younger but they make it work.  [/quote]

You said "they make it work" twice, but didn't explain how.

What is "lots of time with the kids?"   Can you quantify it?[/quote]

Doctors have shifts and have to share the “weekends” so most do a lot of family time on the days of the week they do have off, or consolidate it all for big trips or long weekends off, etc. 
So, for eg, on my tues/Wed off I do the morning routine, volunteer at school, schedule the dentist appts, do pick up and watch the sports practices or games, then dinner and homework together. Talk and wind down. [/quote]

PP you quoted here.
Yes, my dad was a doctor.   The things you mention aren't "time with the kids."  If you are volunteering at school, do you really pull your kid out of class to do the stuff with you?  Keep your kid home from school so they can sit next to you as you call the dentist office?[/quote]
