[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I am feeling guilty. I am basically phoning it in at work. Not doing my best work.  I think it's nearly impossible to get fired (gov't job), but my mediocre performance is making me feel bad about work generally. 
Now that the 2 older kids are school-age, I really feel like I need to be home right at 5 for homework/activities. Plus I have a 2 year old, so I want to hang out with him as much as I can. 
So I leave for work at 7 am to ensure a 4:30 departure. So I can't work out in the morning or at night. (Well I could at 8:30 pm, but experience has shown me that I will never, ever do that.) So I go during the work day. Then I do many household tasks at work
- signing up for activities, filling out forms, etc., do I can maximize my 5 pm-8 pm time with the kids. 
So I feel like an underperformer at work. 
Anyone else feel this way? Anyone have any tips for managing this better?

If you leave FOR work at 7 and depart at 4:30, with a presumed 30 min lunch, you aren't even getting 40 hours a week in, since I guess you don't have a teleport that gets you to work instaneously.

And you ALSO are taking time to work out? And do other personal stuff at the office?  WTF?

You feel like an underperformer because you are a complete slacker, you suck, and other people are doing your job. [/quote]
