I remember when I first started the schedule with my first two, and XW1 had them from Monday through Wednesday afternoon, and by Tuesday, I thought I was going to die!
However, I soon learned quality time trumps quantity time - and whereas I was "with" them before, I'd be reading, or working on house, or whatever, so I wasn't really spending time with them. I just started getting all my stuff done when I didn't have them, and making sure they were my sole focus when I did.
