[QUOTE="brown metal coffin, post: 1498749, member: 38727"] I struggle with the same thing sometimes but this job can afford you better long term provision for your family in the way of health care (real good health care) a very nice wage, a pension, good 401k, stock discount, etc... Truly for every $1 that you get UPS for they work you $1.50 for sure and I know that money can't buy happiness but it is darn necessary in this day and age. If you really care about your family; provision should be high on the list and then when you are not working make that time with your family quality. The children will remember that you worked hard to provide for them and it may even set the tone for work ethic in your household. They will also remember that when Dad wasn't working we had a great time and he invested in us although he was weary. This is only my opinion and I realize that every home isn't the same. This is just what works for me. Also, I know as sure as the sky is blue that I have missed some events and even shed tears over it but I have made a lot of events as well. Use the system to your advantage with; 8 hour requests, 9.5 grievances, scheduled days off and vacations. Schedule those tools around the times that your family is available or have something going on like school plays, school vacations or sporting events if they participate in those activities... Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
