Guilty about not spending enough time with my kids

Hi all,


I feel guilty that I don't spend enough time with my kids because of work. Does anyone here feel the same? If so, how do you cope with it?

Would love to hear and learn from all of you.

Thanks!

Wow, at least you are here finding out how to deal with this problem because most fathers I know do not even bother. Some even \"engineer\" their way out of family time and sell their souls to cycling, golf, marathon running but claiming that the little time they have with their kids is \"quality time\". The sad truth is that many fathers miss the window where they can make the most impact on their children, before they turn into teens and soon enough into young adults.

hehe, just decided to bring my 4yr old for a golf outing where he can just sit in the buggy. Quality time? Not sure but I’m sure he’ll enjoy.
