Almost anything is better than 9-5, especially when it turns into 7-7 with frequent travel and weekend work.
With older kids, you have more flexibility. But little ones don't understand, it seems that after more than four days you start seeing emotional pushback.
Also the longer the trips get, the harder it is to break the rhythm (or drop the trip) if you need to be home for a special event.
