Honestly though, living in base you will have days where you drive into work in the dark, and then drive home in the dark. This would happen on a longer duty day where you fly 2 round trips and block 6-8 hours of flight time. Home everynight is great, but if you are married with kids you are then expected to do the home stuff as well. If this were a typical overnight airline, after the trip you would eat, get a shower and then get to bed. The spouse may not understand this.
