Then I'd ask for a lunch hour, or I'd offer to work 30 minutes late closing up shop in exchange for time to get to a Low Mass. If you're working that hard your employer should be willing to accommodate you.

But do consider what effect this may be having on your three children. Making a serious effort to get to Mass demonstrates the importance of your Sunday Obligation to them. Neglecting it, for whatever reason, demonstrates to them that it really doesn't matter that much. As a parent you have greater responsibilities than to yourself.

Um i think you mean my (prior) three jobs i only have one child.
i would love to work later but have a limited train schedule
if i miss the 5 the next one isnt until 11
I think that if i miss having dinner with my child every evening would be worse for her long term.
I do make the effort to go when i can but between my 3 hour a day commute and work there is only so much time i have for anything else
