We have a new baby and my DH is working all the hours - including Saturdays at the moment.

I know it's for the greater good but I miss him and I know he feels the same about us.

It will hopefully mean we can one day move to a bigger house, pay off debts and have some money for luxuries. We are slowly getting there but we're definitley quality time poor.

I sometimes feel envious of our friends - those with DP's who are home by 4.30pm, have flexi hours etc, but at the same time am so proud of my DH for working so hard for our future.

Just wondering how everyone elses lives stack up regarding time with DP's v long working days? And do you think time at home (with less money) is more important than working hard whilst the DC are little and it paying off in the long run?

DH works 6 days a week. He leaves the house at 8.15 and gets home somewhere between 6.30 and 7. He has his own shop so we don't get holidays either.
