Who are these people? Run home at 5:30 to pickup the kids from after school childcare, cook dinner then help them with homework? Help their parents? Mow the law

Who are these people? Run home at 5:30 to pickup the kids from after school childcare, cook dinner then help them with homework? Help their parents? Mow the lawn, paint the bathroom, service the car, do the taxes, shop the groceries, get a health checkup, get a tooth fixed, visit the neighbors. Who has time for a startup with a job?
- pipeline_peak 4y agoIdeally people without kids, most of the things you listed either could be paid for or avoided.
- rr808 4y agoYeah if you spend all your time on startup and not with your girlfriend you wont be getting kids either. ;-)
- pipeline_peak 4y agoI don’t think it’s a coincidence that Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk are said to have these “alien/robotic” personalities. I don’t believe it’s a simple as “well that’s cus they’re programmers”.
- rolisz 4y agoEh, Musk has plenty of kids :)))
- pipeline_peak 4y agoEh, born after he became wealthy, taken care by nannies, and scattered across like 3 wives. His 18 year old daughter went to court to legally separate herself. :)))
- wnolens 4y agoMany people have no kids, or no parents (passed, or in another country), or live in a city (no yard, no car). The shape of their life is much different than yours. The lack of responsibility by comparison allows for this sort of venture to be prioritized. My life is like this (minus the startup, which sounds like a terrible time sink to me)
- lcedp 4y agoTo be fair, the article promises advice on how to have a startup and 9-to-5, not on how to have both while raising small kids. Doing just 2 of 3 is hard enough. > Run home at 5:30 Author mentions he's remote and don't have to commute which saves ~10 hours per week. > cook dinner If you are picking up kids today, could your partner cook dinner?
