Worried student of ERAU

My girlfriend and I are currently discussing family life and the idea of kids came up. Both of us are all for having children but we realize that combining my profession as a pilot and the time-consuming lifestyle of full time parents is alot to deal with. I want to spend time with my children-to-be and don't want to miss on those "special" days. I was wondering if anyone here could give me some incite as to what it is like as a family of a pilot and any suggestions as of ways that I can spend as much time as possible with my future family. I was also wondering if there are ANY piloting professions that have fairly steady and predictable hours (9-5pm) such as helicopter transport. I really need some help, please anyone with any information I would appreciate it if you could help me, thanks
