Dad guilt after 10-hour days
Oliver Q.Regular
1 min read
I work in construction, so some weeks I'm out the door at 5:30am and home at 6:30pm. My kids (4 and 7) are already fed by the time I get there. They're tired. I'm exhausted. We maybe get 30 mins of actual quality time before bed routine.
Weekends I try to make up for it, but it doesn't feel like enough. My wife keeps saying I'm doing fine, but I feel like I'm missing my kids' actual lives. The 7yo is learning to read and I'm barely there to see it happen.
Is this just the trade-off or am I doing something wrong?
