[quote=Anonymous]Are you sure you want to want to miss out on that much of your kids lives? 70-80 hours a week for the first 10 years of your kids lives sounds awful. You will not have a great relationship with your kids if you’re minimally there and working all the time when they are older. My mom was a SAHM and my dad was a workaholic who traveled for weeks at a time - I didn’t even recognize him when he came home once when I was really young. He was very involved with my academics as I got older and always supportive but we are not close now. He definitely regrets it, and that has only become more clear once I had kids (his grandkids). For what it’s worth, my FIL is the same way. They dote on their grandkids way more than they did on their own kids as they weren’t around or as hands on for the early years. My dad is very successful financially but he has let it slip that he wishes he Hadn’t traveled so much when I was young. [/quote]
