Wow. The thought of my H forgoing a work event or sales trip because it interfered with his 2 nights/week with his D... let's just say he has missed MANY of his nights with her and that doesn't seem to be a pressing concern. The work stuff always seems unavoidable. Maybe it is just a factor of where he works and the expectations of his company and his role?

Holding him to it is likely to negatively impact his career. Wouldn't that hurt me (and more importantly our D), too?

It's tricky, I think. ..

Can you really say to your boss, "sorry I can't meet with the client that day because it's my night with my kids"?
