How is this barely seeing your kids?  Spouse 1 is with them from 4pm-bedtime.  Spouse 2 is with them in the a.m. and again for a couple hrs in the evening.  How much time to do you expect to see them?[/quote]

Yes, but then our weekends are squandered on deferred chores, errands.  It's two hours of quality time during day, rest is maintenance. Would be great to make dinner before picking up kids, and just glide home as a family which most SAH can manage. [/quote]
