OP - It sounds like DH is not willing to make any changes in  his career life and leaving it all up to you.  I agree that you need to look at your combined work schedules to see if you were at work earlier a couple of days a week, if he could not get the kids up and off to school - meaning before care on his way to the office.  Or else have him go in earlier, on alternate days and cut his time at the other end.  It sounds ridiculous that every night must be until 9:00 p.m .  It does not get easier so the ideal answer might be to find a reliable somewhat older woman who could work after-school hours and get your children to their activities and do at least meal preparation.  This person might also be able to pick up some of the slack during the summer time.  And by the way what does your children's schedule look like during the summer time?

Gotta say if your kids are young really it might be time to re-prioritize careers versus children.  They are young for such a short time and do need to see their parents once in a while.  Does DH also have the golf game on the weekend or does he at least carry his equal share of family life with kids and household duties (which are not done by a paid person)?  If not, time for a really, really serious conversation.[/quote]
