Well, a man has to work hard to provide for his family entwisi, so very difficult to split the difference sometimes between career and time with family.
I have had to provide singularly for my son since he was 4 years old, so no choice to put a large effort into providing him with the best things in life .. can do both if you truly love your children, not about time always, just the time you have spare .. you spend this with them without guilt.
My son (now 25) was recently singled out to provide a profile in his 'trade magazine'. The closing question was 'What has your career taught you?'
The reply from my son was ' Know when to go home. Although there are occasions when you have to go the extra mile, you can run yourself into the ground with overwork. You earn your salary, so it is important to find time to enjoy it'. Yes, ok, am proud of his wisdom.
