How fatherhood changed my priorities

Used to care so much about having the nicest car, the coolest gadgets, impressing people at work. Now I'm like why does any of that matter. I just want to be here for my kids. Turned down a promotion that would've had me traveling constantly. My coworkers thought I was insane. But I get to coach my son's baseball team and eat lunch with my daughter at school. That's worth more than a bigger paycheck. I've lost some ambition but gained actual peace.
