I’ve generally earned more than my wife but there was a time (i’m a software engr she has an MBA) when i earned less and it was around the time of the birth of our 2 children. I was so glad to share the time of raising our children. I can’t imagine regretting any of the time i spent with my children growing up in exchange for some ‘career advancement.’

We had a part time nanny on occasion which were local legal USA born college students for whom I filed proper taxes.

After any of us retire from out jobs, do you think our company and coworkers care that much? Presumably, our children and family will continue to care.

Jack Welch was as critical as anyone to Ge while he was CEO, but still, the second he walked out the door, he didn't matter any more.
