Been thinking about that too - I love being on my computer and spending time deep down rabbit holes learning about new things. Something I don't want to compromise on if I have kids. But reality is we will need to spend time in other areas with new responsibilities.
This is an interesting topic which crosses my mind a lot, I do not have kids yet, but I have a lot of side projects which I LOVE. As sad as it sounds, being on my computer coding is my happy place. Question to all the fathers out there when you had children, did that change? Did the motivation become harder? Did that drive in your shift?
I’m not expecting kids yet, but it’s always something I wonder about. People love their kids, and some people change into completely different people.
Feeling grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow from the mistakes and challenges of the past.
