[QUOTE="johneddie, post: 426182, member: 4351"] ^^^^ Starting to get a little deep here....I agree. I can relate to work getting in the way of family. Not as a child,but as a parent. Like I said earlier in my post....self employed,me and the wife have worked together for the last 12 years. When the housing market was booming several years ago (8-10), 60 to 70 hour weeks were the norm. Even though we worked together we weren't always together,had a couple people that worked for us. She would be handling the customer/estimate end of things and I was involved in the getting it done portion. Money was awesome but much time was taken from the kids and the stress took it's toll on us. Too much alcohol and wandering thoughts and actions almost caused a divorce. Kids strayed.... drugs, not coming home,etc... Things have repaired themselves for the most part since the economy tanked and work slowed down. Still getting by, just not as much $$$ and now the kids are older and I can't go back and regain what was lost. Thankfully my youngest is just turning 16 next week and she's been good so far (proud of her). Don't really know where I was going with this but anyway don't let work and financial strain get in the way of family! Times are tough enough as it is.... Sorry for the rant and slight derail.
