I volunteer at my kids school. Time to myself on weekdays means I'm rested, exercised, and caught up on the various distractions of life when I go pick up my kids (by mid afternoon). So my quality time is better than most of my professional peers who get home later, and know they still need to get back on the laptop before they can go to bed. Anybody who is remotely in my compensation bracket works pretty hard for it.
