You chose to have 3 kids. About 2x the average so yeah it will impact your technical career because it’s a huge time sink. Your coworkers will wonder if you are some sort of wired religious breeder but you won’t have time to hang out with them anyway. That being said managers like the fact that you are now a slave to the salary and entirely dependent on continued employment so they may push you up the corporate leadership chain because they know you will tow the company line.
