It is hard, but can be done . . . it is a matter of choices. Our kids are now 18, 16, and 14. I believe I have done 19 IMs SINCE they have been born (I work a lot, coach kids, spend time with family, etc.) I have written on this topic many times at www.IronmanLawyer.com If you are interested, start at The Door and read the articles in that series. You can also search training and family ("training family" without quote marks). After all these years I am still adjusting how I put all the pieces together.

Also see The Dilemma and links.

Good luck!!
