He quit, started a freelance business, and now works at home and has all the time in the world for them. Once he realized his happiness was important for everyone's well-being, his life was changed. He also realized he didn't need as much money as he thought they did, so it all worked out!

I know it's a lame excuse - and the kids will be better off if I do something I love - but in the back of your mind there's a hammering refrain: earn for the tykes. That's why I've stuck with my corporate consulting long after I've tired of it - to provide for my two little kids. If it was just me and the wife we would've packed it in and headed to Vegas ourselves a long time ago. The mindset once you have kids really messes with free will and ideas about "perfect jobs."
