Career took a backseat and I'm weirdly okay with it
Used to put in 60+ hour weeks chasing promotions. Got one right before my first kid was born and you know what? It meant nothing. I was missing everything. Took a step back to a different role, less pay but better hours. My coworkers thought I was insane. Three years later watching my kids grow up and actually being present for it... man I don't even think about that promotion anymore. My identity used to be my job title. Now it's just being their dad.
Congrats on actually being okay with it. A lot of guys struggle with this shift. The promotion will always be there but these years with your kids won't be. Sounds like you figured out the priority.
