It feels really great spending long hours working to ensure that your family is provided for and has everything it needs. Unquestionably, I believe you feel compelled to do all in your power to ensure that your family's basic needs are taken care of. I know it gives you great joy when your child or your wife says "Thanks" for a gift given, a desire fulfilled. Nothing can compare to the sense of satisfaction that brings.
But what really matters?
Time shows that the child is not as impressed with the time you spend working as he or she is with the time you spend with them. Children enjoy receiving gifts, but are more inclined to cherish a dad's presence at the dinner table, a dad throwing a ball to them in the yard, a dad watching their favorite cartoon with them, a dad coming home early or getting up from the computer just to be with them.
