sm, leave by 5.30pm, I can only do so like once a month or so?? During feative seasons when most are on vacation, then it can be more often.
Sad thing loh, europe side wakes up at 3pm, so most calls will not end before 6.30pm. And if they are busy, we will schedule it thr their lunch.

Rachel, about being taken for granted. Think most people don't intentionally take advantage of their loved ones. But, its simply not a wise thing to spoil our own market with our partners to spoil them with unsustainable expectations. Its human psychology. It loses its value.
The giver is too tired and stressed out to enjoy the process of giving.
The receiver loses the creativity, element of surprises. It is replaced with expectation. And when not given, the disappointments.
It becomes a lose-lose situation. Afterall, our objective in pampering our spouses is simply wanting them to be happy. Not to indulge them till a point they become a handicap or reliant.
The secret to make someone feel on top of the world isn't to give to the max all the time. Its like eating a 6 course dinner. Each is small in quantity and the right amount flavor to enjoy its richness without overdoing.
