Howdy, y'all.

I've been noticing recently that if I don't get out the door on time in the morning, somehow I end up with morning duty, and then not getting to the office until 9:30 or 10.

When I came home around 6, I discovered a covert contract that I would be "done" and on my way home in the 5 o'clock hour.

So with that in mind, a few questions:

  1. Does anyone set boundaries about being "home" at a certain time? Or is it covert or expected?

  2. If you basically say, I'll be done when I'm done, did you notice that your wife wasn't ready at first?

  3. Do you strive to maintain a share of the domestic load, like bed time, bath, and clean up? Or do you strictly set off to separate your schedule and needs from that of the family?

Thanks
