Career vs Family: forced to choose

Got laid off from my finance job in January. Was a wake-up call honestly. Took some time to think about what I actually wanted instead of just climbing the ladder. Decided to take a role at a smaller company that pays less but offers flexibility and remote work. New job starts next month.

My parents think I'm insane for taking a pay cut. But I want to see my kids more than twice a day. Curious if anyone else made a similar move and if you regret it?
