Its true that the hours can take a toll on our home life if you let it. Its tough to see families eating dinner together at 600 sometimes while I leave them a package.
That isn't my life. This job has it pros and cons, like any job. I would suggest that anyone working for UPS that is having trouble at home decide if they would be better off not working here, what is your priority. You have to deal with it as a team, what do you really want out of life.
As for me, I don't have a college degree, this is the best way I have to provide for my family. Its good money and bennies, nothing better around here, and I actually like my job.
All that aside, the standard at our house is whoever gets home first cooks dinner. We are used to dinner at 800, even the kids. Housework is done as needed, with big cleaning jobs done on the weekend. The world doesn't come to an end if tables aren't cluster free and floor needs mopping. There is a difference between filthy and messy. If it bothers you, hire a housekeeper to come in once a week. It all boils down to a mutual respect and keeping priorities in order. Marrige is "we" not "me". IMO
