[quote=Anonymous]Depends on what he does.

My dad was a physician.  He worked weekends, evenings, holidays, and had a full on-call schedule of hospital overnights.  He was never available for calls to say goodnight or to check in.  It was just never an issue because my mom didn't make it one.  If he had a regular day, he was home for dinner.  If he wasn't scheduled on a weekend day, he was home with us doing dad things.  If he was scheduled on a holiday, we often packed up a holiday meal and brought it to the hospital.

I am an attorney.  I try cases pretty regularly.  I am in court pretty much daily.  There are plenty of days when I can pick up a call while I am in court waiting for something to happen.  There are also plenty of days I can't pick up a call or answer a text or come home on time if I am in trial, waiting for a sentencing hearing to start, or meeting with clients.  I work for myself so I can schedule my cases to make the most of my schedule, but I can't always be available to my family when I am at work.
