I didn’t expect this movie to be touching either. I thought it was going to be a comedy throughout the entirety of the film. It was a nice ending that was not expected. It is very important to not get absorbed in your work. You should take the time to spend with your loved ones, and to cherish life. Certainly this isn’t a family movie, but its one that adults can take a great message (and laugh) from.

I've had trouble with balancing work and family as well. I will never put a project ahead of my daughters but my wife does get the short end on the stick a lot. It's a tough thing to manage but I know that in the long run what I am doing will benefit our family more than harm it. Steve Steves last blog post..High Protein Breakfast

I’m glad to see I’m not alone. Especially with the holidays coming up I think we should all make an effort to spend more time with our loved ones.

I'm guilty not spending more time with family as much as I should have to. This article serves as a timely reminder for us to pause for a moment and think of our priority. Yan Yan@Blog for Beginnerss last blog post..How To: Remove Ads from Categories

It was a good movie and really hits the nail on the head asking to prioritize our stuff and keep balance between our work and family. Try and maintain warmth in relationship and at least communicate with the people who matter to us and not just break away from them.

I love this movie too... Yeah my wife has been splitting some time between Dallas, TX and Canada. And I tell you what, that separation makes me really remember to keep this whole thing in perspective. How To Make Moneys last blog post..How To Market Your Blog Like A ProBlogger

When i first started out in IM i spent way to much time on the computer and no where near enough time with my family. Now i have turned those things around and have found a balance that is involves alot more time with my family.

This is a completely true story, but a little sad.

When I was 25 I worked at an Engineering firm and my supervisor happened to also be my next door neighbor. One Friday I was called into her office and she rang me through the ringer for being late every day that week. She was right of course, being late wasn’t normally appropriate.

Now in this case, I explained to her that my wife was suffering morning sickness and our toddler couldn’t be left unattended while she was sick. I’d called every morning at 7:45 am tell my supervisor that I was leaving a few minutes late, and every day I got to work half an hour late. I’d would also stay over lunch to make up the time.

Her response was (I kid you not) … the company was my priority. It was the company which allowed me to have a wife and provide for my children. Needless to say I broke out laughing and left them that afternoon. Ever since, I’ve been staying home with my family and enjoying their company while I freelance.
