both my wife and i work - my wife makes more money than i do - so i only work four days per week, and on the 5th day i take care of the household stuff like laundry and grocery shopping - it is also awsome to be able to walk the kids to school one day per week - anyways both of us working is teh difference between being able to provide extras like hockey schools and trips to mexico every couple of years and dinners out every once and a while.
i'd love to sit and the dinner table and have a long discussions with my kids about sports, politics etc - but that being said they are 5 & 8 and they are more interested in playing - and these days they play electronic devices.....
are we doing the right thing for our kids - i guess we won't know the answer to that until they are adults.....
