[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Then the statement does not address you. Why do you think it address you. It addresses OP and her H. Why do you think this is about you?

Do you think OP's H does not need to be home with his kids, ever?[/quote]

Ok, NP here.  Your nitpicking is getting annoying so go away.  We all get what the PP was saying.  I'm sorry you don't.  But, move along now and reread.  See if you can make sens of it.[/quote]

If you have a H that makes tons of money and works 20 hours a week, this thread is not about you.

We are talking about 2 parents that don't have time for their kids. The answer is NOT that 1 person should make time.

If BOTH parents don't have time for their kids the answer is NOT that ONE of them needs to make time. The answer is that BOTH of them need to make time. [/quote]

RIght you live in the magical land where people in high achieving careers can just go in and say "I'd like to cut back on the old hours." and still be able to afford living here, and still be able to send their kids to college or private school (which is totally necessary if you live in DC) and put away for retirement and emergencies. Sometimes the best option is to make one career the driver and the other parent scales back and focuses more on family life. Not everyone can have the "ideal" scenario where they get to work jobs that pay well, that are challenging and rewarding and end at 5 and also have off for all the school holidays and never require travel so they can be some instagram family that eats breakfast together and dinner every night. Lighten up. [/quote]
