On average day I leave for work most days at 8ish, get home about 7ish.
Ive 2 babies at home ages circa 2.5 and 1. The younger one is in bed in at 7ish most nights and I have an hour in the evenings with the older one where we play (jenga is her curent thing) and I do the bedtime story. saturdays and sundays are mostly family days which we try to maximise.
I try to get home early at least 1 day a week and leave late 1 day a week to spend more time with them. Wife is at home with the kids full time. I enjoy my job and would rather not leave it so i dont want this thread to turn into a discussion on job/lifestyle im more worried that Im not utilising the time I do have with them to best effect.
What do other working fathers/mothers do with what time they have with their kids in the evening?
Is everyone in the same boat where you have that 1-2 hours window when you get home from a full day and try to be (interested?motivated?good parent?educator) for the kids?
