good luck with this one. my kids are teens and I feel guilty not driving them to the bus stop and letting them wait in the car until the buss arrives. when I ride or do other training in the morning they are on their own. they are hardy.
I remember putting everything I had into being a parent of young children like 9 mo olds, etc. It helps a great deal to divide labor with the mother. she does mornings and you do evenings ...? something like that
now that I'm 50 I think having new kids would kill me unless the mother was smoking hot and made me a very happy man. then I guess I could do anything. love is amazing like that
