Career change so I could be there
Left a high paying corporate job that had me traveling constantly to work a local government job making significantly less. My wife thought I was insane but I was missing everything. My oldest was already resenting me and I couldn't get that time back. Now I'm home for dinner most nights and I coach my son's baseball team. I definitely miss the money and the prestige sometimes but watching my boys actually light up when they see me at pickup instead of when I'm leaving for the airport again makes it worth it.
That decision probably surprised a lot of people but your kids will remember having their dad around way more than the extra cash would have meant.
