In the constant search for balance and in my not-so-unique situation of being the father of a small child (wow, some of you guys have known me since my community college days - whoa), I am trying to find the right mix between work and leisure.
I work a full-time job but am also developing alternative sources of revenue outside of that. However, this takes away from "family time" and does cause friction from time to time within the members of my marriage
I'd say in general I have about 3 hours (between 5-8 pm) to spend with my daughter. I want to interact with her, and truly enjoy it, but would like to find out how much time that dads, specifically, actually spend with their kids per day, and whether this is dedicated time, like 100% dedicated to that, or that you are simply available for them while doing some other activity, like rolling cigars or making meth, for example, so that they can choose to interact or do something else.
I hope this all makes sense. I'm trying to find a good balance while retaining my sanity. Wives/mothers, feel free to comment, but I'm specifically asking about the time a father spends with his kids.
Thanks to all!
