My point was looking at it from the benefit of my kids. Weekdays my eldest wants me to run around the garden and play with him when I get home. Most weekdays I'm too knackered to really maximize my time with him which sometimes leaves him thinking I don't want to play with him.

I would gladly work longer hours but see less of him during the week if it means I get more days off because the time I spend with him will be more positive overall.
