I am currently working as a graphic artist. But due to my workload I spend less time with my family. If you will be given a chance would you give up your career so you can spend time with your family or continue and pursue your career?

The reason why you can't spend time with them is because you are working for them. You don't have to give up your career of course just manage your time and try your best to give quality short time. It wouldn't hurt to have a leave from work sometime to spend time with your family longer. Remember if you are going to give it up to spend it with them, it wouldnt be interesting anymore cause you'll be seeing more of them everyday and you'll probably fight each other due to financial problems starting to surface because you quit your job. Balancing is the key.

I have recently stopped working outside the house and it's much, much better to spend time with my family. Our family is struggling a bit financially from what I am used to. Our bills are paid, but we don't have much extra, while in my last marriage our household earned a lot of money and we could do pretty much whatever we wanted. But I wouldn't trade back for anything.
