I look at it like this: my job is to make sure my wife and son have what they need. my career is the thing i do when i leave every morning at 7:15 and don't return from until 5:00 pm on the weekdays. I can't let my job interfere with my career, and that rule goes both ways. It's hard to do, yeah, but I came into this whole parenting thing telling myself that it was going to be so hard, that I couldn't even think of some of the things that were going to come my way.
Now I've got a good balance. And I make sure that I always look forward to going home and hanging with the fam. Even if the baby is screaming, I love it.
