Been there and done that also #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& was out all hours day and night fishing till the kids came along 24 years ago. Thats when the wife said it was time to stop and help to raise the twins. I made a deal that she could stop work and stay with the children till she felt it was time to go back to work. She stayed home for 15 years and did a great job with my son and doughter as I worked 70 to 80 hour weeks to make it all happen. Then as the kids got in high school she needed to get out and work again for something to do I put up a big fight
but she won and has been hard at work since. Now the house is paid for the twins col. ed. is paid for and its time to start fishing agian. As most know she bought me a nice new boat and said its time for me to relax a bit it will be hard but I will give it my best. Glad we had the children young as now at 47 we are on our own again and doing all the things that you can't with young kids.
PS to all you dads love them now all you can as they do grow up all to fast.
