Am I unreasonable for wanting to say no? He works an hour away from home and already plays volleyball on Thursdays. He leaves for work at 7 a.m. and doesn't even come home on volleyball nights until 10:30 p.m.. If he added a second night during the week he wouldn't see his two little girls ages 1 and 3 two days a week.

hey another volleyball and basketball wife here! and to be honest i have said no more then one night a week for sports (he does basketball on the off season of volleyball) and for the same reasons and also to be honest because i miss him a lot when he is not around and truth is when he is not with us me and my girls are not very happy! also have you thought about going and watching daddy? i take my girls and its a lot of fun if his game is early enough then we go cheer on daddy and head out to dinner nothing fancy maybe just a happy meal and make a night of it and are still home in time for bed! that way you don't feel like you guys are not seeing him! i like that he plays it makes him happy because he does love playing sports and when he is happy i am happy and as often as we can we go and watch so maybe this will work for you! even with little ones a lot of wives go and find a little corner where the baby can walk around but you can still see! good luck!

Talk to him about how you feel, but don't whine, he might resent that. Just tell him matter-of-factly that you feel he doesn't spend enough time with his children. My dad worked all the time when we were little and now that I have a daughter he says he doesn't remember us being that age, he missed out on everything. It might not seem that important right now, but he'll realize how much he's missing if he doesn't spend time with them. Hopefully you guys can come up with a compromise you're both happy with.

Tell him how you feel and see how it goes. Tell him your concerns, and tell him you dont think it would be right.
