[quote=Anonymous]Another answer to OP's question.  Your husband's schedule sounds pretty typical to me.  DH leaves earlier and comes home a bit earlier than your husband, but his schedule is pretty much the same.  He is very present on the weekends, particularly Saturday (does a half day working most Sundays) and does get the kids started in the morning with breakfast before he heads out the door.  But he's not home during the week for dinner with the kids (though he and I usually have dinner together every night).  We also make a point to have family vacations of a week or more two or three times a year.  Have a couple of friends with husbands in big law and their schedules are similar.

It is not easy, but it works for us.  My husband loves his work, but he loves his family dearly too.  We fit in quality time into every possible minute we can.  Do I wish I saw him more?  Yes!  But I think I'd feel that way in any event.  Friends whose husbands work more typical 9 - 6 jobs complain that their husbands aren't present, helpful, engaged, etc.  So having a more conventional job doesn't mean you're automatically more devoted to your kids and wife.
