My first born, now about 5, was born while I was aggressively chasing promotions in a tech company. During her first year I mostly saw her to put her to bed at night and on the weekends.
This time around I’m a full time indie hacker and I see my son for hours every day. He’s six months old now. I’m insanely fortunate to have a profitable and growing business, but I’ve come to believe that everybody should be able to have months with their children without losing their house, insurance, etc.
It may seem crazy but 100 years ago a 40 hour work week seemed crazy to many.
- frumper 4y agoThe way you describe aggressively chasing promotions sounds different than losing your house. There is a middle ground in there. I also agree that people should be able to spend months with their children though. I'm glad California is supportive of that.
