Why is it.....

Why is it that 5 out of 7 days my time with the kids looks like this.

Up at 6:30 -7:00, must eat, get dressed and ready for the day.

8 - 5 or 5:30, Work

Come home, eat, play and put kids to bed between 7 and 7:30.

That gives me a few minutes in the morning and about 2 - 2.5 hours in the evening. To add to the joy, those hours are over the witching hours, kids are tired and acting up, fighting about going to bed, blah blah blah.

That translates to roughly 10% of the day working parents get to spend with the kids. And this is not based on crazy hours. I've already left a job because of crazy hours.

How and why did the human race put themselves in this predicament? How do you improve the next generation with 10% of their time? Its no wonder things progress so slowly?
