[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I get stressed about work and not doing enough there bc I want to be home with my kids, I remind myself that it is highly unlikely that on my death bed I'll be thinking "Oh, I wish I has worked longer hours". [/quote] Yup. The studies on this topic show that elderly men consistently wished they hadn't worked so much and had spent more time with their families (these are for people who worked back in the 50s/60s, before women worked in the same numbers they do today). I think of that a lot when trying to figure all this out. I hear people talk about not passing up the job of a lifetime; as far as I can tell, I have the kids of a lifetime, and damned if I'm going to miss them while I have the chance.[/quote]
