danmux··on Ways to bootstrap a startup: on the side
My family is taking the brunt of the impact of my project. My 3 kids are a bit older, youngest is 8. My wife is doing virtually all the parenting and household management. My weekends and evenings are written off to coding, but the biggest sacrifice if from my wife and kids.

When you have a family don't underestimate the impact that running a startup has on them.

I only hope this turns out not to be a false economy.

Spot on, I commented on some of the problems I'm facing on quora....e.g. "You also have your day job keeping an eye on your proceedings, and if its a good place to work you will inevitably get sucked into putting some extra effort in towards the end of projects, detracting from your startup."
