[quote=Anonymous]OP, how flexible is your husband's work time ?Is getting home 730-8:30 because he must work that late, or just prefers to miss all the drudgery of dinner, baths, bedtime and instead get to do play time? or is it his gym time?

If he has NO control over his schedule, including starting earlier then I would compromise but I would not put the kids to bed first. Let them have quiet time and he puts them to bed--not rile them up. If he has control, then you work together on a schedule that makes sense. I could see doing dinner, playtime, and then he comes home and does bath/bedtimes. He also needs to be doing some of the child care and not just the playtime.

also, what are the mornings like?

fwiw, our kids are 4 and 6 and they usually have lights out at 8:30. much later and they are a wreck. they naturally wake early. I would be pretty pissed off if DH came home and woke the kids, and he would feel the same, but we also usually try to be there every night and we alternate the bedtime routine with the kids so they each get one on one time.
