I was raised by a single mother, in part because my father didn't want the overhead of raising kids. I know many other people like that (or other similar situations like parents voluntarily enlisting in the military). Obviously an anecdote with sample size n=1, but different people make the choice of prioritizing different areas of life based on what makes them happy.

But I think for you it is clear that family comes before business. Which is a fine personal choice for you, but is it the kind of choice people putting their money in your business want to see you making?

(And yes I don't have kids or a wife.)
