The Price of Working Too Much

So I have a close friend that lives south of Wichita KS. that I have know for many years. I met her before she even met her current husband and they have been together several years now. I was talking to her tonight and she was telling me how the strain of her husband working so many hours at his job was starting to take a toll on their home life. He is working so many overtime hours that he never seems to have any time to help out around the house or with their kids anymore. I know that most men like to be able to provide for their families but at what cost. Is working so many hours just to be able to provide for the family such a good thing when it costs being able to spend quality time with that family. What happens when you lose that family because you were never around when that family needed you the most. It just seems that sometimes compromises must be made when it comes to working or the end cost may be more than is bargained for. I firmly believe that a man should be able to provide for his family but he must not work so much that he neglects that same family in the process. If that happens then what is he really working for? For his family that he never sees anymore? There must always be a limit that a man is willing to never cross when it comes to his family but lately it seems that many men seem to neglect their families by trying so hard to provide for them. Is this really what we want to teach our children? I hope not for our children's future's sake.
