You sound like a great dad, @jbcoin. I hear you. The emotional and financial survival can be a real bear. My son is five now, and I don't wanna miss these years when he's still a little guy, but a lot of times I don't feel I am doing a very good job, with all the stress and what not. I'm trying to be more grateful every day, though. Just having health and another day is a pretty big blessing. Gotta make the time, I suppose, right?

With kids, that is exactly right. TIME is the currency.
Your kids won't care how much money you make, they'll remember that time you took the time out of your day to make funny milk cartons with them...or play in a mud puddle for that matter haha.
People will see your title and say "OMG...who wants their kids to grow up Disobedient?" Teach your kids to think for themselves, reason out what is best for them, question the fucking teacher when they feel that a punishment or grade is unreasonable. Don't necessarily do what everyone else is doing, decide your own path.
From one of my favorite authors:
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest.
