5/0 and Nightfighter (lyme thread) take the time now. Everyday is a good day to be with family. I lost my brother 15 months ago, he was 28. I have no regrets because when we wanted to be together or could, we were. Maybe that is an extension of how hard we both worked individually, but if we wanted to we would stop everything and be together.
I have a 7 month old boy now, and he is my life. Work, not work, whatever as long as he is healthy. If work gets in the way, I'll quit before I say no to my kid. I work stupid hours too 9.5 by contract, 11 is normal 13+ is usual, and any more than that is almost expected.
This is year 6 of this schedule and I'm burnt out. I've toned it down for my son, but feel the work piling up. It is not good. I'm looking for a new arrangement of work. I hate to leave a job I started but the expectations are exceeding what I value both my time and family life at. This past year I was paid less after losing my brother and having a baby than the two previous years, meanwhile my boss played golf every week through the summer and I ate up his work like it was nothing. Shame on me.

Point being, time with the family exceeds time at work. Your call
