+1 My wife works 5am-1:30pm so I do the morning routine for our three kids (1, 7, & 9). I work 9am-4pm and am home by 5pm. It's family time -- dinner, sports practice, homework, chores, fun -- until the kids get to bed around 8pm. After that, I'll finish tidying up for the night, make lunches for the next day, and settle in for another 1-2hr of work a few nights/wk. This schedule affords us the ability to be with our children nearly the entire time they're not in school, and is definitely worth the tradeoffs we made to facilitate it, considering the obvious alternative would be for one of us to quit their job (which not only has an opportunity cost but would also likely reduce the time the other partner had with the kids).
