[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have a right to be concerned about the emotional well being of their children. I kinda have to. I am there all the time. I actually don't make that awesome of a salary, but it's all right. It pays the bills. I just find this to be a pattern in the jobs I've had and trust me, they are not super high paying. I love the children and that is why I do it. However, I may have reached burn out or like others have suggested, perhaps I need to find employers who are more involved in their children's lives where I feel more like a compliment to them, not a substitute. And yes, they are harming their children...emotionally.[/quote]

OP you may be completely wrong about these parents harming their children. My father worked crazy hours and was always traveling for business. He was very successful. I had a fantastic relationship with him. I was always really proud of him and the time that he did spend with me was high quality. The material aspects of having amazing vacations, not needing to take out student loans and just overall never needing to worry about money is something that made my childhood pretty amazing.

People who don't have these opportunities or have lived in this situation like to believe that everyone must unhappy. This just isn't the case. [/quote]
