Working families

Here is a question for families that have kids and both parents work. I am toying with the idea of changing some work hours but that would mean working late, late, two nights a week. I would most likely be getting home after the baby is asleep. One it will put stress on the fact that I will be missing some of the only hours/minutes with my boy but at the same time will put stress on the house because that would be giving BJ more things he will need to do. So more or less how do you other families (mostly mommies) deal with all the nights away from home? Let me know.
