For example, your late hours mean that you order takeout multiple times a week. You feel terrible about this, so you apologize to your family, only to learn that they don’t care. They love ordering takeout and what they really care about is having more time with you.

Change doesn’t happen overnight. Rebalancing work and family life will likely mean that you’ll have to set boundaries in new ways. Connect with other women who have learned best practices and creative ways to juggle the multitude of requests.
Take a realistic look at your work schedule. Are your long hours necessary? Is there something else that you can change so you can have a more predictable schedule? If you need more flexibility at work, reach out to your manager. Remember that everyone wins when you take care of yourself and your mental health.
