I feel so incredibly guilty sometimes. I give everything I have at work, just trying to ensure I keep my job so I can provide for my family. But when I get home, there's absolutely nothing left in the tank. I don't have the energy to spend time with my kids and I never make it to their activities or games. I know I'm working so hard for them, but I'm worried they're only seeing the dad who doesn't love them enough to be a part of their lives. What should I do?

Maybe start giving 80% at work? That way you have some time and bandwidth and energy for your family when you get home. At the end of the day, your job won't be there for you for the rest of your life in the same way that your family will, and you won't get these years back.

You need to find some discipline and start imposing some boundaries. Going overboard at work is pointless if you're shortchanging or neglecting your family. Either that or find a less challenging job. There's nothing wrong with taking a step back if the pace can't be handled.

I know it's hard but your kids will remember the time they spend with you over the things they get
