It's not worth it to me. I learn on the job. Your job really should be willing to set aside time for you to learn things. It's not mentally healthy for me to continue work related things after hours. I need to exercise, rest, spend time with kid etc. Otherwise, major burnout will ensue.
Get up at 6am. Get kids ready for school. Help my wife with any chores around the house for a bit. Start working. Lift on my lunch break in my home gym. Back to work. Kids come home. Feed them. Help with homework. Do something with them outside weather permitting. Put them to bed, read to/with them. Get lunches ready for tomorrow. Load the dishwasher. Load the laundry. My turn to walk the dog. Be mentally and physica…
"Help with homework", I have seen this in movies. Is this a cultural thing? I don't know any parents that help there children with homework.

The understanding should happen in school . Homework should be only for things that have already been learned.
If the learning is already complete then any homework seems like utterly unnecessary busywork.

It sure would be nice and just if the schools had the means to provide the personalized tutoring most children need to understand. Reality is that the parents do that - and yes, it is an advantage to children with parents able to invest time and skills in their education.

Here's mine: Wake up at 4AM. Stretch Achilles (gets stiff when I sleep), make a coffee and check emails/prep for the day in my notebook. From 4:20 to 5AM I run 5K and then shower. From about 5AM to 7AM I work on my own stuff/learn/whatever. At 7AM I wake up the wife and help get kids ready for school. I walk with the kids to school at 8AM. From 8:30 to 3PM I work on my stuff and have lunch somewhere in there. I walk…
I’ve found that if I really want to learn something, I just get up an hour early, makes some coffee/tea and get to it. It’s the only thing I can control with any certainty. The quiet time while everyone is asleep provides a distraction free environment. I also like giving my most productive/energetic time to my own projects/learning, as opposed to work, but that is just me. After work time is for dinner, family, and…
Waking up early works but only if your kids don't have a variable time range, say 5:30 - 7:00, when they get up :)

Culturally normalized cheating. Also gives advantage to those with rich parents who can afford the time.
Nothing about helping someone better understand something is cheating. Helping your own child? That is just natural. I find what you said revolting.
