| When I worked in an office (I have just started working from home - part time at present but I think it will increase), I would also see my children for only 1-1.5 hours each night plus breakfast (which could be anything up to 2 hours - depending on when the baby woke!). My husband was always at work before the kids woke so he would only see them for that 1-1.5 hours at night and then on Sunday as he worked on Saturdays too!
We tried to have the kids stay awake past 7.30 - to about 9pm so we could spend more time with them as a family but they could not change their waking habits (6-7am) so they could not stay up.
We would talk about it a bit on how we could change it but we both liked work and our lifestyle (ie where we lived) so we made do.
Can you move closer to your office so you do not have to commute? |
