A first-person monologue reflecting on the difficulty of balancing fatherhood with business responsibilities. The speaker contrasts the relative ease of going to the office with the challenges of parenting (e.g., caring for a sick child), praises his wife’s ability to juggle family and work, and emphasizes the need for boundaries in a family business and shielding his daughter from parental work stress.
Being a dad is so much more difficult than being in business. I think it has made me appreciate going to the office is much easier than staying up with a sick child. And I don't know, I think especially to watch my wife, who is super mom, super business woman, does wears every hat. I think that has given me a new appreciation. But it's also put things into perspective. Like I said, boundaries are really tough in a family business. And I think it has brought a different level of perspective that I do not want my daughter to witness me stressing at home about something at work or only talking about work with Faye.
