Default RE: Fame or Family??????????

ORIGINAL: ash2042

I recently read a blog from a famous bowhunter and also watched video clips on his websight. His blog was for a period of about 4 months. He gave his daily routine for this time period. During his daily routine there was not anytime for his 3 kids or his wife. When he did hang out with his kids they were running(literally). It just seemed everthing he did with his family revolved around him and his fame. He had a photo shoot and missed well more than half of his sons ballgame. I realize everyone may miss a few of their kids games or activities but usually we spend more time with them than this guy. I wrote a response stating I would like to see a normal daily routine since the last four months didn't show much time with his family. I was very nice in my response and it was removed so that no one could read it. Removing my comment made me realize this guy is all about himself and fame and that he doesn't spend much time with his family. If he did, he would have answered my responce and not removed it. Sorry I just had to vent, I feel family is the most important thing in my life. Time with my little girl is amazing and the values and memories she will have will be priceless. I am just wondering would you give up 95% your family time to be famous or be an under armor model?
Don't cast your morals upon others. That is not a negative on you at all, I am just saying that not everyone has the same priorities and ethics that you do and expecting them to in this case can cause you disbelief and frustration.

When I was a kid, my dad used to skip soccer tournaments to hunt the rut. I never blamed him and he would call me and give me updates and ask about my games. To be honest, I would have rather been hunting myself. Every year when he went elk hunting he missed my sister's birthday, but they just celebrated it a different day and trust me, my sister never felt slighted. Not everyone is the same.
