Would be that it's not fair to you or the children but you have to make a living some how. Even if you work lonnng hours and are tired after coming home, then cokking and getting the kids ready for bed can really do a number on you. But when you are home try to spend as much time with as you can. It's important that you bond with your children or else they could end up hateing and rebelling against you and that is every parents fear even mine and he's not even born yet. So instead of going out on the weekends take them to a park, zoo, any where to spend quality time with them. If you have to the whole family play hookie from work and school for one day and bake some cookies together.
