My own story is that I find myself saying, "not right now" or "maybe later" when my kids ask me to play with them. Which begs the question, what am I teaching them about being an adult? That you have no time for play? That you can only spend time with your kids in a certain prescribed manner? I think you nailed it. Balance. My mom used to always say that there is a time for everything. A time for work and a time for play. Just seems like for me personally, I had forgotten the latter. Especially with regards to how I spend time with my kids. I am also interested in finding out what the quality of life affects might be. Will I be mentally/physically healthier because I will be spending less time in front of the computer/tv? @jaisson – It is difficult finding a balance, because as you said, we are the parents.

I get a sense that you're not alone with this sense of self-reflection & wonder. I know I've done it. It helped me make the decision a few years ago to go into business for myself doing what I loved and it's helped me very recently decide to reshape my goals. Key in both these decisions was the need to be there more for my family. My son's old enough to start looking for part-time work. If I'm able to show him how you can do something you enjoy & get paid for it, I think I'll be able to send him off into the world with a better sense of balance. Great read.
