ZZAAAPP-

You're exactly correct!!! I know a lot of 'successful" fathers that don't even know their own kids. Coaching sports, I see this sometimes.

I remember when I was a young man an older guy I worked with gave me some great advice...... "Don't just be a father to your children, be a Dad".

zzaapp hits this one on the head imo.  That's definitely my idea of success.  Sure, making a lot of money is great.  But if you have to leave the people behind that mean the most to make that money and become "successful", is it worth it?  To some it is sadly.  I've witnessed this first hand as Mikeoz had stated.  My own step-dad does it everyday with his son.  He rakes in anywhere from $250,000 to $300,000 a year with the job he has.  But he has to be out of town all week to do that.  If he's lucky he can make it home late on Fridays to try and spend the weekend with his son before he has to get up REAL early Monday morning to head back to work for the week.  A lot of the time though he has to work Saturdays too so he won't get in until late in the afternoon Saturday.  Only giving him about a day and a half to spend with his son.  But the catch is my bro is into football, drama, and has a butt load of advanced classes.  So they barely get anytime together.  Sad.  But I guess that's the difference of being successful to some and not to others.
