Bro, you shoulda put this under training because, IMO, this is one of those areas that's just as valid as anything you do IN practice.

(I owe you an e-mail, by the way! I apologize.) For me, personally, I only missed two weeks of kendo per kid (I have two). You've probably heard me spout off on this before but I have articulated to my wife how important my once a week kendo is and that I am willing to back her up as well. (I actually get in twice a week most weeks, one of them being asa geiko while family is still sleeping - but that had to go on hiatus while kids were not sleeping well and is often an on and off thing.) Backing that up is that I pretty much don't go anywhere during the week - when I'm not at work or at kendo, I'm with family. This is important and supports mom for her once or twice a week outing.

So, I guess the short answer is: two weeks. For me. But every situation is different and you, your wife and your support staff (extended family, etc.) have to be in agreement on it.
