Covid and lockdowns caused many issues but something I am going to be forever thankful for - the push to work from home. It meant I could spend lots of time with my son. Precovid, I would leave before he got up and then have half an hour or an hour before bed time (if that). Even now, I am only in the office once every two week - I see him in the mornings (and take him to school), I pick him up in the evenings and take him to martial arts a few times a week.
Something my dad never was able to do as he worked away from home a lot. My relationship with my son is fantastic, as is my relationship with my wife.
Ok, so the job is a bit boring at times, but I now have many passions outside of work.
I bet that many people having both crisis and kids don't particularly enjoy spending a lot of time around their kids. They can drag through for a while but their hearts suffer too much in the long term.
Take them to do stuff they're interested in. Take them to do stuff you're interested in. Talk to them about school and what they want to do in life.
You're not going to die wishing you had worked harder for someone else.
