You don't get those days back, especially with a young family.
Depends how young. I see my school age kids for 2 hours a day Mon-Fri and the bulk of that is watching them watching TV! No qualms missing a weekday although only in extreme circumstances will I miss a Sat / Sun. I stayed in Washington a day longer than necessary last week because going airport - 2 days of meetings - airport was just silly given I control my own schedule.
