How do you balance the demands of postdoc life with your outside life?

In 2019, my wife and I welcomed our son, and this year we welcomed our daughter. They are a blessing, but also a huge responsibility. My wife is a surgeon and a scientist, which are demanding jobs. Life is full of choices and challenges. We simplified our commutes by living close to work for both of us. We have a wonderful nanny and do a lot of tapping in, tapping out with baby care. She comes home, I go back to the lab, vice versa. We love seeing our kids grow and making sure they are happy and learning. It is hard to describe the wonderment of a child seeing every aspect of the world for the first time.
