[quote=Anonymous]My spouse is expected to contribute 50% of kid stuff. In reality, it's probably not that much, but he does most sports practices/games (I make about 75% of games) and I handle almost 100% logistics. We have an after-school sitter who oversees homework and can drive them to their activities, take them for haircuts, dentist appts, tutors, etc. We try to make sure at least one of us is at all school events. We're lucky that my mother is local and when we can't make it, she'll go. We try to meal plan for easy dinners (make double so we have leftovers the next day) and do a lot of takeout. Ultimately, I have to make peace with the fact that I am not as present as I wish I were, but like everything in life, it's a tradeoff. I hope by working hard, I am setting a good example and will be able to provide my kids financial security. [/quote]
