As a millennial we grew up in an era where the growing majority of households had two working adults; and for the most part not raised by our parents but by daycare providers or no one at all! Personally, I remember walking home at age 6 with my younger sister to an empty house, preparing a PB&J sandwich and either throwing on the TV or jumping on my bike to go play with the neighborhood kids. I miss those days, but as an adult I’ve come to realize that I don’t want to be like my parents. I created children because I want to be with them, want to spend time with them and watch them grow to become responsible adults. For the first time in human history, technology has enabled us to do all of this. Obviously there are some limitations that face-to-face contact cannot replace, but you have to admit that society has become more productive than ever before; our efficiency ratios prove this. For instance, today I’m going to stroll into my office around 10 to say hi to everyone then going to pick up my oldest daughter to head out to go skiing with her all weekend. For her the time we spend as father and daughter is invaluable and one that we will cherish forever. If my office needs to get a hold of me, they know how to reach me. But I work to live and not the other way around.
