[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in finance but have actually very "attractive" hours for the work that I do. With our 4yr old daughter in school, wife has decided to go back to work partime (10-2:30). I used to leave the house at 7:30 and get home around 5:45 and on a number of occasions I have events with clients of the firm etc at night. Well she's constantly complaining about my hours, about how I leave home so early and how she has to get our daughter ready and EVERY night she asks "Do you have anything tomorrow night" in a tone that is so passive aggressive I've started opting our certain events. This is going to hurt my career and she fails to understand, even though she says she does, that I'm working pretty normal hours for a mid 30s guy trying to move up the ladder. It's frustrating and unfair. [/quote]

Wow, I'm jealous of your hours. DH works longer hours. With our first child, I worked full time and we manged to make it work. She doesn't know how good she has it.

She probably wants to spend more time with you. Perhaps you should schedule date night once or twice a week so that she knows she has your attention on those days. You need to communicate your schedule to her (with regards to staying late.) I like to know if my DH is going to be late so I don't worry that he's in an accident. Just common courtesy.

In general, you do need to communicate. I wonder what does she think is a "good" schedule for you? [/quote]
