I’m agree that nowadays most people strive to maintain a successful career with many achievements, where they would become respected people and experts in their field with a happy family where parents love each other and spending a lot of time with their children
However there is a problem which people think not allowing to maintain two different lifestyle , each of this lifestyle getting too much time , so basically if you want a good career you have to work a lot , and I the other side if you want the happy family, you also have to give all of yourself to it , since the children and you will not always stay young and you will not last forever.
I have a thought on how to deal with this. first, ask yourself the question do you need to succeed in your career in order to feel happy, if the answer is yes, then you will have to figure out how to organize the time that you have left for your family, you may not spend time with each other every day, but for example go for a picnic on Sunday when you have a day off.
In my opinion, your family and you can feel happy without your career and, accordingly, without a large family budget, but when the family budget becomes larger, more opportunities and activities open up that you could do in your free time, it is better to spend less time together but do it efficiently
