I feel for you! I have the same story. My husband is also an accountant and I also work part time. And no – not so that we can live luxuriously- so that we can live a normal lifestyle. My husband doesn’t have the regular tax busy season. His busy season is about 7-8 months out of the year in which he gets home between 11-1. The other few months its between 7-10. The frustrating part is that he doesn’t even get paid for overtime. If he did it wouldn’t bother me AS much. Anyway, it is hard- the evenings are very lonely and boring. Not that I don’t have work to keep me busy- I have young children, I prepare for work, and I have housework to do… it’s just not the same when you’re home alone all night with no one to talk to. The only thing you have to keep thinking is that this is just temporary and hopefully soon he’ll move up and make more money and not have to put in as crazy hours as he is now.
