Yes, definitely a good reminder. I have five young kids myself and am less than two years into my career as a lawyer. Law is not a field known for having stellar work-life balance. It has been tough to push against the culture. A good portion of people are in the office before me because I help with getting everybody ready for school and driving our oldest to school. And I am usually one of the first to leave. This does mean that certain opportunities pass over me, but there is no doubt that it is worth it. It's always nice to see other dads taking their role seriously. Cheers.

Wow, that is great. Yes, that culture must be tough to find work and family balance. You have your priorities right, and I am sure many of your colleagues will regret so many hours and say you were the smart one... you can’t get that time back! Best to you my friend.
