Got a lot of awws. I must be doing SOMETHING right in between working 50 hours a week in asset mgmt and traveling 10% of the time.

Being PRESENT for your kids when you are around in the AM, PM, weekends is very important. Do not be on your phone, or computer, or doing housework. Get that outsourced - cleaning, cooking, filing, shopping - by a good nanny or housekeeper.

I sleep 11am to 6:30pm. go a lot of household admin from 8am-11pm. Husband does not, he has ADHD and comes home at 6 or 7pm totally spent from office work. He passes out at 8pm on the couch. 
Personally, I do not like the pressure of running everything in the household and getting zero input, or thought, or effort from him. But he has his issues, and those create more issues if I pushed him to be more involved. I tried that the first 5 years of kids, there were a lot of setbacks and arguments. [/quote]
