You make a choice to be constantly running.
The late Mrs.CTL and I ran our professional practices/businesses from offices attached to the home when we had minor children.
They never were in the care of a nanny and were raised by us not the school teachers.
We could have earned more working for large firms but family came first.
Yes we ran, to see our daughters in school plays or sports, etc.
BTW, living out of town meant a trip to a kosher restaurant was at least 40 minutes each way. So, there was no grabbing takeout. Every night there was a home cooked meal for family dinner (I cooked, she baked) and in more than 40 years of marriage we never once bought Shabbos or Pesach.
Living in NY now, I am appalled at the number of children being raised by non-Jewish nannies, while both parents work and one salary pays childcare. I live directly across the street from a park full of frum children and the nannies all sitting in the benches on their cell phones. It is no wonder that the youngsters are so poorly behaved.
