[quote=Anonymous]He comes home between 9-10pm, often needs to do a little more work after that. Our kids are in bed at 8, so he's not home for that. However, he does morning duty virtually every weekday (and one weekend day, we split)--he's up with our 2 kids, does breakfast, gets them ready for preschool or nanny. He's with them from wakeup (645-715am) until 9am, then he leaves for work. Late in, late out. Sometimes he has a call or has to go in early and I take over, but that's unusual. His sacrifice is not sleeping in. But neither of us had kids to have a father who would trade some sleep to be with his kids on a daily basis. He loves his job, he loves his family, it works out for us. The biggest shame is no family dinners during the week and we parent in shifts during the week--he's on his own with them in the am and I'm on my own in the pm. Overall, though, we have a nice balance. I work full-time (government lawyer).[/quote]
