We have young kids, 3 and 5. They are a handful like all kids are. They do half day preschool and then with my wife from noon onwards. I WFH most of the time and help w kids after 5 PM. But I also take the occasional business trip which in ways is a company paid, part-time vacation: happy hours, team outings, sneak in an evening with friends in the city, etc. At the same thing, my wife is now having the kids without support for a whole week.

When I get back home tonight, I’ll take the kids for the whole weekend and she’s going to get a hotel room to decompress.

Is there anything else others have done?
