[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 415679, member: 12570"] I have 2 kids and they both were very active in sports and other activities while in school. They both realized that neither myself or their mother (RN) would be able to get to every one of their games so they were very appreciative when they looked in to the bleachers and saw either one or both of us. I was able to watch more of my son's baseball games because he played his games on a field which was on my delivery route so I would simply take my lunch during his games. I watched one of my daughter's away games because she was playing at a school that was on the way back to the center so again I just took my lunch then. This was all pre-PAS and pre-GPS. I also commend you for your role as a single father. It is vital that you have a strong support network in place before you become a driver. A 40 hour work week, while possible, is highly unlikely and you would lose a ton of money. My last paycheck had zero overtime and I was down at least $150-200 from my usual take home so taken over a year that is almost $10K. You have to decide what is important to you and will soon realize that you can combine both elements, just not to the degree that you may like. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
