The ugly reality is that for men (or whoever the principal breadwinner is), work does need to come before family.

Real talk.

To quote the great philosopher Chris Rock:

That's right.

lf the kid can't read, that's Mama's fault.

That is Mama's fucking fault.

Now, if the kid can't read 'cause there ain't no lights in the house... that's Daddy's fault.

Real talk.

To quote the great philosopher Chris Rock:

Maybe if you have a job that requires 80+ hours weekly and pays $400k. Completely unnecessary though and one could have work/family balance on a fraction of that.

You only get one shot in life with family.

I'm not advocating abandoning the family, but I'm not bought-in on the idea of sacrificing financial success in the name of work/life balance.

And yeah, I do miss a few T-ball practices and soccer games (but in all fairness, I make the majority of them). If that means my kid has some hang-ups, they can work on them with a shrink with health insurance, good college degrees, zero debt and a paid-off house.

If you think your kids aren't smart enough to realize that daddy is missing their tball game cuz you're working so you can buy another car, or rocket or wtfever else you're mistaken.

Kids aren't dumb, they know when things aren't tight and daddy has got to work, and they also know when daddy is just working for more "stuff".
