[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5.45 is reasonable as long as your commute is not bad. But how many evenings a week are you going to business functions?

Do you help with the kid in the morning? Do you take shifts all by yourself on a Saturday and Sunday to make up for your lack of help during the week?[/quote]

Agree with this poster.  DH works reasonable hours but once, sometimes twice a week, he has a work commitment or meetings that means he misses dinner, bedtime, etc.  It may look easy when the two of you are there to help, but when it is just 1 person and they are tired from a long day, it can be a lot.  Sounds like you don't have any empathy for your wife and maybe she feels like you aren't a very hands on dad/husband.  One morning a week is great, but that's not much.  We also have a calendar so I know in advance when DH won't be around.  I can understand why your wife would be annoyed if you just spring it on her last minute "oh btw won't be home before kid goes to bed tonight"

Do you give your wife time to herself without having to be asked?  Do you ever make her feel appreciated or do you just tell her she should be happy your hours aren't worse?

I do agree that her complaining constantly is a bit much, but it is coming from somewhere so you guys need to explore that. [/quote]
