I have come through many business man who always engaged in business 24hours a day, without having a time to spare with family. Earning money is very much important for them. They donot even know in which school or standared their childrens are studying. Is earning money is so important in life? I know money is important in life. But is earning money so important at the cost of neglecting family life? Will you agree with these kind of bussinessman?

I wouldn't agree that earning money is more important than family because even if the person lost their job his family would still be there. I know money is important so you can live financially but family will always come first in my opinion. I love my family to bits and wouldn't miss my kids developments for the world if i could help it.

I think we should do both. Having busy with business is not excuse of neglecting your family. Remember without source of income, there's no way you can give a better space for your family. But spending too much time with business will make your family separated ways.

Not just business men, but even many fathers dont want to take part in the family activities. Though the reason is that they want to keep up with the others and grow steadily up the ladder in their career to support their family. But yes they forget that money alone is no everything. These people should definitely understand that only if they give love and affection to their kids they will get it back in return when they want it.
