I just had one of these discussions with my wife yesterday.
My racing buddy was over and she came out with her work schedule and our race schedule in hand wanting to find a happy medium. It actually ended up working out pretty good. Minimal babysitter days.
I had given her a schedule of most of the possible dates that I would be gone racing and told her the other weekends would probably be spent riding. I try to take my son (7) when I can but my oldest daughter (10) doesn't seem interested and my youngest daughter (3) is just to small to go with the guys on an outing.
We actually trade off with the child duties. I let her go shopping when she wants (most of the time) as long as it doesn't change riding plans. You just have to give a little or it will never work from what I have seen.
Now we just have to see if we can get through the season as smooth as I made the schedule sound!!!!
Good Luck,
Jason
