[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I worry that I focus too much on my own career and life. I mean, I'm home for dinner 90% of the time, used to travel a fair amount but that has cut back since COVID, so I'm not totally absent - just dividing my attention. My own parents were hyper focused on their own lives and I think my siblings and I suffered for it. Again, we were not neglected or anything (at least not by 80s-90s standards lol, they'd probably be reported today), we just didn't have a lot of hands on parental involvement. But then I think it was also pretty motivating to see what they could do, and we learned a lot of resilience and self-reliance which has served all of us kids well in life. And I'm more hands-on than they were .... So maybe I'm at a good balance point? I don't know. Kids are tweens/teens now, I'll get back to you in 10 years.[/quote]
