""Then kids came along and I really don't give a crap about climbing anyone's ladder. I don't want to be a director, I don't want more work responsibilities, and in fact, I'm still on my 5 p.m. departure schedule and at 4:50, I'm packing up to get the hell out of there immediately and go home.""
""As soon as mine were born, it became less about 'I want to be successful and make a ton of money' and more of 'I just want to be financially secure, give my kids a good start to their lives, and spend time with them.'""
Many parents experience a significant change in career aspirations after having children. A Reddit user shared their journey from aiming for corporate success to prioritizing family time over climbing the corporate ladder. They noted a shift from working long hours to leaving promptly at 5 p.m. to be with their family. Comments from others echoed this sentiment, emphasizing a desire for financial security and quality time with children rather than pursuing promotions that require additional work commitments.
