As with everything it’s more complicated than that. I’m very much the breadwinner but she sacrificed a fair bit when the kids were born etc so it’s her turn to be career focused and build things back up. The difference is that she was solely looking after the kids back then, whereas I’m now doing that and working.
We had a brilliant nanny for a bit but she went on maternity leave about six months ago which has made life incredibly difficult again.
All first world problems, but ones that I think will put me in an early grave at this rate.

it REALLY isn't worth it. block some time out in your diary for you. Even if it is 07.30 to 08.30 e.g. previous commute time. OK you might not be able to go out riding due to kids but you can do something that isn't work. Stress is real. I have been coming to the office once a week just as a motivation to ride the bike on the commute

Sack one of these off or pay someone to look after the children so that you can do things for yourself that you need to do. If your wife is MIA between 8am and 10pm every day she will be earning mega bucks - enough to afford childcare.
If she isn't then you need to start asking some uncomfortable questions about what the two of you are doing.
