I want to hear more stories of entrepreneurs managing the lifestyle with children. I think it can be done but I'm still trying to noodle out HOW.
I have 2 kids (2 yr old/6 month old). It's getting harder for my 36 year old self to stay up all hours of the night hacking on code and such. I've got myself on a decent schedule but it tends to catch up with me by the end of the week:
- Up at 7 with the kids, drop of at day sitters and at the office by 9.
- Leave office at 5PM, dinner, bathtime and kids in bed by 8:30PM.
- Sleep in older son's room until about 12:30 or 1AM.
- Get up, check in on wife and other sleeping child and work on code till about 3:30 or so.
- Back to bed and do it all over again.
My wife asked when I was going to get back on a normal schedule but when I explained to her that the late night stuff is contributing to our future, she's okay with it but she rightly worries about the long-term health impact.
Not only that but I'm a right prick when I don't get enough sleep ;)
I swear if/when I ever make the bank to do so, I'm going to sponsor people in my same shoes.
