My wife knew what she was getting into before we got hitched. Now, when January starts to roll around, she tells her friends "well, I'll see Jason again sometime in February."
It's hard balancing work+FIRST+home, but the key is just that, balance. You don't have to be building the robot everyday, you'll burnout and your family will resent it. Take at least 1 or 2 days off a week and spend that time as QUALITY time with them. Also, don't spend all of your family time talking about the robot. If all of your time is spent talking about "robot this, and robot that" you're too busy talking and not busy enough listening.
ewwww...i sounded like a shrink.
It's halfway over already!
