A middle road is working from home on your own startup/bootstrapped company, or even just freelance work. You might forgo income and career advancement, but you may just reap the rewards of more success with your children.
I'm not suggesting you're falling for this mistake but working from home does not equal being a stay-at-home parent.
If you're concentrating on a startup or freelance work then you're not giving your kids your attention. It's not enough to be there, it's better than not being there but don't fool yourself that you're bringing them up just because you're in the same building more often.
