Struggling to model Christ when work is crushing me
Guys I need some real talk. Been working 60 hour weeks and I come home exhausted. My kids want to play and my wife wants to talk about her day and all I want is to zone out with my phone. I know I'm supposed to be the spiritual leader of my household but I feel like a hypocrite preaching about patience and love when I'm snapping at everyone. How do you balance providing for your family with actually being present? I don't want to look back and realize I missed everything while grinding away.
I get it brother. The 60 hour weeks are real. Here's what I learned though - your kids don't need you to be a superhero after work, they just need you to be their dad. Even if you're exhausted, that matters way more than having it all together.
