Don’t worry yourself senseless trying to be perfect at something. Just do the best you can, as that’s the most anyone can do.

Now that is a great piece of advice.

As a young man i worked away a lot all over the country i loved the lifestyle and earned a lot of money. I got married and not long after my daughter came along. A Geordie i was working with said to me you need to make a decision now. Know your children and take part in bringing them up or give them a good lifestyle it’s difficult to do both.
He said his daughter got married at 21 he was asked to give a speech as father of the bride and realised he didn’t really know her and other friends and family told tales of incidents of family gatherings that he knew nothing about. She had everything she wanted as a child but he didn’t know her at all.

It really struck me at the time as you could see how much he regretted not spending time with his kids and i changed jobs almost immediately, i have had a great relationship with my kids but i can see how easy it would have been to have missed out on that.
