[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he home for dinner? Does he travel a lot? Mine is basically at the office Monday-Friday, and by the time he gets home in the evenings, I'm too worn out with the kids to even deal with whatever 'sympathies' he's looking for with traffic or work stress.  I realize this is disrespectful to single moms, but sometimes I feel like one. I dream about leaving DC, the city where it seems like you commit your entire life to your career, above all else. I guess I'm just venting. I'm from a small town where life is just more enjoyable. [/quote]

I am SAHM, DH is attorney. He leaves the house at 7AM. 2 days a week he is home by 6PM (though about 50% I have already fed the kiddos) and typically will have to do a few hours of work when the kids go to sleep but he will do baths, bedtime for one of them and clean up the kitchen. The other 3 days he is home anytime from 8PM-3AM (no joke...AMs happen all the time). When he is home by 8PM we have time together. Weekends can go either way. Sometimes he has a lot of work, other times nothing more than a few hours.

I'll be honest, it sucks. He is wiped, I am wiped but the kids are happy. My DH was fired from a firm for not meeting his hours so this is just the way it is for us. If he did not have the firm job we'd be underwater financially even if I returned to work bc of his student loans. I try to think about the longtime but its so hard. At least in this area a lot of people are in the same position.[/quote]
