Hello consulting dads,
How much time do you spend on average with your kids during the week and weekend?
Also, do you set dedicated time-slots per day / in the week so u don t forget. Finally, do you have any rules to ensure this time spent is really focused on them where you are fully present.

Full week end. No rules!

I don’t set rules on it but I have searched deeply for things I genuinely enjoy doing with them. This way it’s not hard to maintain attention.

I have found it’s changed a lot over time. Earlier it seems more just about time a older quality of the time seems to be more important.

Only an 18 mo old. Basically spend every morning and evening together during the week. I max work events at 2 for any given week because it means I won’t see my daughter those nights (avg is prob 1). Then the whole weekend. I workout at home when she’s sleeping and tend to do social things starting at 7/7:30pm after bedtime. My wife is more introverted than me so she’ll stay home, and I’ll go see the guys.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.
