I live in a country other than where I was born & raised and have a small business. I am teaching people a trade in which no one has bothered to truly teach the "how's & why's" behind what they're doing. I spend more than twice the time in the office than my employees to "take up the slack" of my so-called "experienced" employees. All the while I am teaching them during the day as they work. This keeps me away from my wife & child 6 days a week. It's difficult. This business is my legacy for my child. By preparing for his future, I seem to be missing out on the present.

What I would do is find a couple of your employee's that you know could handle a little extra work load. Even if it costs a little more money to pay them. A little extra money is not more precious than watching your children grow up. One day you'll look back and think. I achieved the perfect life for my children. But I missed out on all of the good stuff in their growth. Children are very important especailly in their younger years. They really need that influence of a full time father. Ever If you have to work a little later to spend extra time with them. A couple whole days are more important to a child. Than a few hours each night. They will always remember how spent them extra hours to spend your weekends with them. Nothing is more important than that. Or a few extra dollars on an employee. Those are the memories that stick with a child when their an adult. Then when they have children if their ever in the same situation. More than likely they will do the same. Just something to think about.

i think it is good what you are doing,,,,,but i think that you are missing out on the good things in your life...like your wife and children.. i would miss you very much and there is a lot you are missing even though you are trying to help someone else.. how does your wife feel about this situation anyway...i think it must be bothering you for you to write about it.. so you and your wife need to think about this situation.. it is good what you want to leave your child, but knowing your child in his childhood is important too....i really think that you should at least try to take more days off than 1 day a week... and be with your family.. but it really is a decision only you and your wife can make.. i think it would be hard on a marriage too.. aren't you tired a lot.. well these are things you must think about and i really do not know what else to say.. good luck on what you decide ...

I had to tug all that stuff lower back to the motor vehicle by skill of myself. did you recognize ways a lot a granite altar and obsidian knife weigh? Sheesh. i will convert to Christianity. easily being an Episcopalian isn't as difficult as being an Aztec.

It's all about balance, try to learn it yourself.
