RE: 10 Reasons Why YOU Should Be A Stay-At-Home DAD
I'm currently working 60 hour weeks for just one of my jobs. The biggest thing I hate about it is not seeing my children very much. My objective though is to work hard now to produce enough income that I won't have to work so much in the very near future. I'll always be working, but I won't be out of the house for 60 hours or more a week.
It can be tough to find balance @finnian, but we do the best we can. Everyone has differing circumstances, so we must do what is best for our family. Sometimes that requires great sacrifice. Just think of how wonderful it might be to comfortably retire and be able to watch the (future) grandkids one day! While I'm working as a greeter at Walmart at age 82..LOL we sacrifice as parents - one way or another. Keep working hard brother, it will pay off.
I'm always driving forward. I just might not be moving as quickly as I should be in some areas. My children understand. Heck, they see me way more than I saw my dad as a kid. If I could be a stay at home dad though to home school and protect them, I would definitely do it. That's my plan after all. I want to work from home and have enough passive income to not have to worry. It just won't be in the USA more than likely. I'll be in a place like Panama.
You're well on your way my friend. It is easier to move forward than it is to set still. I cannot recall where I heard that, but it holds so much truth. A plan of action makes it much easier to arrive at your destination - wherever it might be. Enjoy every bit of time with the family. After all your hard work, one day you will look back and appreciate your journey. I'm sure your kids will too. Thanks for the resteem my friend!
