Turned down promotion to keep my schedule flexible

Had an opportunity to move up to team lead which would mean 50% travel and longer hours. Would be a nice pay bump but I know myself, I'd never see my family. My career is important but I realized my kids growing up is more important. Got some judgmental looks when I declined but zero regrets. Anyone else prioritize family over climbing the ladder?

Respect that decision. My kids would rather have me home for dinner than have me with a fancier title. The money's nice but you can't buy back time.
