It’s okay to do less at work for a while. If your job has a lot travel, on-call, and overtime then it may be wise to change roles. Your kids and partner will need you more than your work and they absolutely deserve it. When your kids start daycare/school they will be home with fevers and bad colds. It’s good if you can use sick days and share this with your partner. You will also be sick a lot. Ensure you have lots of time off and sick leave. You will have a lot less time to hang with friends and do personal activities but it’s important to keep something going. Other people have brought up most of my other points so I won’t repeat them here.
