My dh and I both work fulltime and are rarely home before 6:45. I leave home before 7:30 and can be home really late depending on my work schedule - meaning dh is more hands on than me with dds (two aged 3.5 and 17 months). Am now making a massive effort to get home by 6:45 but as we bath them at 7:30 it's making the most of that time when I/we can just be v tired and not the most enthusiastic of parents. Mow it's light we tend to take the dog and dds out/if not play/read etc which we all enjoy. Just wondered how other full time workers coped. I do REALLY (well, usually) look forward to seeing them but can just be so tired that it's a bit of an effort. We're v lucky and have a great full time nanny who gets to us at 7:30 and works until 6:45 and never complains about overtime etc.
