Every night. If I got more work to do, I’ll log back in around 9pm

I aim for every night, but if urgent, I’ll miss dinner one night a week (but always make bedtime).

Every night - I don’t care what’s going on at work, for that one hour I’m not available. That hour belongs to my wife and my kids and myself

Almost every night, but I always make bedtime. The reasons I miss dinner time are not work related. I’m involved with a community organization and we have board meetings in the evenings once a month. I’m also on a city committee and we have a once a month evening meeting as well.

I’m with you in the spirit of this question. I have to ask myself every night if I should do the other tasks I have instead; both work and home oriented. While they’re as young as they are, I just want to be engaged with them when I can. They get me untethered for 2-3 hours every night. After they hit the bed, I’m back at it. As a kid who lost his dad early, the work is always there, but I may not be so I’ll guarantee them that piece of me until I’m not anymore.

I hit 3 nights a week during the workweek and then both weekend nights if we don’t go out and leave the kids with a sitter (which we do a couple times a month). On the days I miss dinner, it’s because I have overseas client calls, but I start my day late on those days and get to hang with the kids in the morning instead.

7. WFH.

Every couple of months I might have to miss one for work.

Every night. We are not in the business of saving lives, and neither should we pretend we do that. Most things can wait for a bit.

Every night.

Wow amazed at this. Honestly we hardly have dinner. The kids usually eat around 5 and wife and I will either be out somewhere together or doing our own thing. We do try to be back by 7 for tv or game night together and bedtime chats. I skip dinner a few nights a week due to my fasting plan. Maybe we get one day a week on the weekends ?

I try to eat with them every night, and breakfasts at least twice a week!

Every day

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

I went through my gf’s phone and found out she had a crush on my best friend when we first started dating (over a year ago).

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

Can I kindly get advice on my resume? I have a resume writer/career coach who took all of my info to put this together.
