I was just thinking about how I backdoored my way into a lifestyle that is probably not very common.
I have 50/50 custody of my kid so right off the bat, no kid half the time. And my wife spends 3 nights a week on the road for work - one of which is Friday night. So every week I have at least one night with my wife and kid, with just my wife, with just my kid, and alone (including every other Friday night being alone). Don't get me wrong, I wish my kid was there all the time and my wife home more often but I can't lie, the alone time is really fucking awesome too.
