I envy you Tom. As a working-(too-much)-father, I work more than I see my kids and I feel like I'm losing something big.
As others I radically reshapes my carrer when my first daughter was born leaving unsafe research field for the safer and higher paid industry. While I'm pretty OK where I work now, I miss so much the freedom in terms of working hours and time tables. I'd like to find a job where I could spend more time with my kids, even at the price of a lower wage.
Best and good luck for you coming back to work (BTW, the next months will be WAY more physically exhausting).
