You want to give 110% to your job. You need to give 110% to your job because there are lots of other people out there who will if you won't. Part of that is what makes it so hard. You'll work 14 hours a day, but someone out there will work 15. But how do you do the same for your family? Something always seems to suffer. I've got to hand it to Todd though. When he's home, the girls and I are his top priority.
I feel so terribly guilty that he's missing so much of the girls' formative years. I know that he's doing this so I can stay home with them. It would be so much easier to break this cycle if I were working. He could start his own firm, or take a job that he really enjoys. The thing is... I really love my job. I couldn't imagine doing anything else. Todd is completely supportive, which actually makes it a little harder. I feel so guilty, and so selfish. Here's hoping we win the Lotto, right?

Ugh....I can totally understand what Todd is going through.
But, if it's any consolation, men in our position do it for or kids too.
No reason to feel guilty because your job is just as hard as his and I'm sure you are putting in very long hours as well!
