Comment on Ask HN: How do you manage long hours vs. spending time with loved ones?

Comments

We both love our work so quitting isn't exactly helpful.

But your work doesn't love you, apparently.

Otherwise it wouldn't be forcing you to make a draconian choice like this.

shes working full time and full time in school. Im ceo of a venture funded startup. so for the next few years this is our life. We did it to ourselves. But just trying to figure out how to manage best with the time we have.

My comment was a bit presumptuous then. Sincere apologies.

there is some truth to it though, because even as a CEO, actually, especially as a CEO you need to make sure you have time for your family. or more importantly, you need to make sure you don't burn out. OPs question suggests that he is getting exhausted with his current schedule. that is the road that leads to burn out, and if i were an investor or an employee in his company i would tell him to slow down, because the company needs him in the long run.
