Do what you have to do to spend more quality time for you and with your family, Kyle....you can't get that time back.

Sounds like a fair arrangement, by appointment only.....you don't get out completely, but you're only in to your comfort level. Works for me.

Sound good Kyle. As long as you still let us creepy woodworking types around to sniff the fresh cut lumber and ask a million questions from time to time!

Take care of your family first and enjoy any time you free up!

Kyle, I'm sure you weighed out everything and made the right decision - Family is always first for me and trumps anything else. Kids grow up so fast - is seems to me they are babies one day and moving out the next. Of course we always have a big celebration when one moves out. Some leave on their own - others need a like kick in _ _ _. Be proud, you have been given the opportunity to be Husband and Dad - it's the greatest privilege a man could ever have. Open up "The Book" - read Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verses 9 and 10 for inspiration

Hope this works out well for you! No doubt it wasn't an easy choice. Often wish I had made some changes in prioritizing time when my kids were small~
Glad you aren't washing your hands of it altogether!!!
