My father saw his biggest entrepreneurial success as a father of four kids in junior high and high school. I believe his schedule looked roughly like this:

- 6am work at home

- 8am work at office

- 6pm dinner with family at home, or cheer at kids' athletic events

- 8pm work at home

- 11pm or 12am, sleep

- In early days, he slept on couch near computer to take customer support calls at night.

It wasn't until I was older that I realized how much my family was prioritized.

That said, my mom wanted to be a full time caregiver and did an amazing job of it, so his caregiving responsibilities were not nearly as extensive as my mother's.
