[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Which is to say, I would describe my H as working long hours and being a big earner, and I SAH, but he is not working until 12-1 am on weekdays!!!!  He is present with the family in the evenings and on weekends, and he can do so because he spends ALL work hours focused solely on work (when there aren't school events, which he has never missed) because I handle everything else.

Exactly. As the poster who has been repeatedly criticized as having disengaged father for a husband, my husband rarely works as late as OP does. He travels sometimes, but not every month, and even then we schedule skype calls for him with the kids every day, we've even done things like set up the ipad at the table so we all play a board game together and I make the moves DH tells me to, or we buy a second copy of our younger child's favorite book (he can't read yet) so they can read it together over skype. He often isn't home until after bedtimes, but he goes into work after the kids go to school, and they're up early enough that there's time for them to spend undistracted time with their father in the mornings. Does he do mid-week Target runs? Generally no, I handle that, but so what? If there's the need for a weekend Target run with the kids, more likely than not he will handle it because I hate Target on the weekend with the fire of a thousand suns.[/quote]
