I haven't been here in a while... not my self... worn out...
Nearing a burnout recently, I've been focusing on my family like never before. Not that I ever neglected my 3 beautiful daughters or my beautiful wife before, but I've been working 50-60 and even 70 hour work weeks at my father's business and I don't want to lose this precious time that I can never get back. Business is robust and I'm in a unique position to take over when my father eventually retires which we all know will be at his death when he is 100+ years old. My brother who has become the polar opposite of me is a rotten brat deserving of nothing IMO and if not for my mother's incessant push for my father to keep him on the team he would be gone. I know if I leave, something I am seriously considering to do in order to focus on my family, my mother will demand my father put my brother in this position. Yes he is qualified. Yes he is business savvy. However, he is a shit bag of the highest order now and although he has never really made politics his "thing," he's been talking like a CNN host recently with his SJW side showing like a piece of used toilet paper stuck to the bottom of his shoe. I can't even begin to describe his character type as of recent but I have to consider the possibility that he was adopted and this is a family secret nobody knows about. Nothing else makes sense. In any event, the thought of him taking my position in the family business is......... so vile I get sick to my stomach.

So, I'm torn. I'm taking my wife and kids to Germany to visit family and to see the Christmas markets in Nuernberg next Tuesday and when I get back, I might just tell my father that I'm out. I know this will hurt him and no doubt the business, and the thought of my brother taking that position in the business is terrifying, but with all of the shit going on in the world, my family is the most precious thing I have. What good am I if my daughters barely see me? What good if civil war breaks out in 10 years? I believe history is repeating and we have 10-15 years tops before a full out civil war thanks to the libtards and the NWO. My wife has been taking it well and I have made up for my absence with showering her with pre-Christmas gifts but I know she actually resents it in her heart. She's a good girl.

Financially, if we cut back a few big ticket expenses, we're stable without having to work. If I quit, I will lose out on some shares in the company that are granted to me every 10 years. It's a substantial amount, for sure, but is it worth this time? I have to look back at my life and see how much time my father lost with us building this business from the ground up that we all benefited greatly but missed out on that time. I know my father does regret it to a degree as he has made clear to me some years back but now that we are all grown, he prefers to work and work and work. I don't want to sacrifice what he has but I am also comfortable with this lifestyle we maintain. Again, I don't want to disappoint my wife on that side of things and I have never had to tell her "no you can't buy that this month because we don't have the money," but if I quit then that will be necessary to maintain our balances and cushion. But it is doable and viable at this time.

The last two years have been incredible for the family business and are a testament to Trump's pro-business policies. And even today, two years later, I can tell you that our partners and customers remain very optimistic as long term contracts remain at an all time high. Our long term contracts are a direct indicator of sentiment because as businesses expect demand to remain high they lock in rates and guarantee X amount of growth. One thing I learned from the 2008 fiasco was when the economy is heading south, long term contracts vanish and everyone switches to short term contracts or even postpaid contracts. So far, we haven't logged a single short term contract in months and are struggling to bring capacity higher. So this bodes well for the economy. What doesn't look good is the political outlook. The corrupt establishment is just too powerful. They have the media working for them for free. I see it everyday with low IQ people just eating up the media's poisonous filth and repeating it. Yes, they are cult members and it seems to be getting worse. That recent wedding anniversary really got me down and I have lost all hope for our country.

Anyways, sorry for this long rant. I feel like I've been ranting to everyone I know recently about the world conditions and ran out of people willing to listen so here I am on my fav lunatic place with all my fellow lunatics. I'm just venting. I just wish more American's would WAKE UP and use their fucking brains instead of blindly believing the lies of the media because as history has proven.... it repeats. But what if I am wrong? What if civil war never comes? What if life goes on and I have to endure seeing my father's business run by my brother who I now despise? In 20 years from now, will I look back and wish I would have stuck it out? But on the other hand, history does repeat and it seems inevitable that civil war will take place at some place in the near future, 10-15 years tops. In that case, the decision I make now will be the best decision.... and here I am...

Starting any business will require enormous amount of resources and time. Can I do it? Sure. That still doesn't answer my question about spending time with my family now. I feel like the "preppers" must have felt back in 2005 and only after 10+ years, did they realize they made the wrong choice.

Yeah this
Can you figure out a spin off or a division of the family business or just start another business but yours
Keep it a manageable size to balance your life
You obviously have good customers
Any potential partnerships there?
But if you walk give yourself a goal, like spending 6 months sabbatical doing something to restring yourself and reconnect with whats important

Yeah, I have ended up buying prepper gear on a bender only to realise I might not need it for years or ever.

But then again, we got evacuated from home due to fire and I was happy that I had masks in the car already.

You could also try letting your brother take over some of the work so you have more time.

The thing is that the family business is part of your legacy. It's something that you can leave your daughters and hopefully their families. it's not something to give up lightly. Yes, it comes with huge commitments and big sacrifices, but everything worth having does. By hanging in there, you have influence far beyond what you can have if you simply retire or take a normal job. You're impacting many lives, and the more wealth you accumulate, the more good you can do.

Hey Bro, great post! I don't have a lot of time to reply much at the moment but I understand your pain. My best answer for now is, stick it out, for your parents and your wife's sake. You have way too much invested in this to just walk away. I've learned over the years that I've made good and bad decisions and should have waited before I make a move, which it appears you are now, or have been for quite a while, doing! Hang tight.

Good for you and a good vent. Hope it is cathartic release as well.

We are more likely to get hit by an island sized astroid or your whole family get hit by lightning at once than have a civil war...seems as there are just to many checks and balances for a conflict like that to happen.

Live your life to the fullest not in fear of a major calamity...odds are against such a thing in this country at this time.

There's a side story in this 1995 romcom, While You Were Sleeping.

The main guy, Bill Pullman's character's Dad owns an estate buying business, which he works in. However, he'd rather make furniture. There's a scene in which he finally works up the courage to tell his Dad this, which goes pretty well.

You might find it encouraging [link to www.imdb.com (secure)]

Good luck with your decision.

 Quoting: wcfChick



I wouldn't have put it quite like you, but I do share some of your sentiments towards the OP.


First of all, let's get to the obvious: What's all this talk about a Civil War? Either you are watching too many Avengers movies, or you have something going on internally that is projecting externally.

You said yourself, you have serious negative emotions when it comes to the media, your brother (who has different views than you), and others. Why?

If you are working 70 hours a week, you shouldn't HAVE time to worry about what your brother thinks, nor should it bug you. He is an adult, right? He is working just like you are, providing for himself, right? Go easy on him, and learn to accept that not everyone needs to think or behave exactly like you.

There isn't going to be any civil war, at least in the foreseable future. You need to get that evil thought out of your head immediately. You said it yourself, thanks to Trump the country is doing well....just be greatful for that.


My suggestion would be , as a man, to approach your father and explain that you can longer work more than 40 hours in a week. Give your father an ultimatum. Tell him how you feel, and that you don't want to leave the family business, but you feel that now more than ever you need to find a balance between work and family, and that working more than 40 hours a week is intruding on that delicate balance.

Either your father will understand or he won't, but that doesn't matter. In the end, as a businessman, if he values your place at the company, he will respect your decision to cut back on work hours.



I'm getting a HUGE sense of "Its either my way or the highway" attitude with you. Either you think like me, or you don't, you are like my brother a scumbag. EIther you support Trump, or you are the media, scumbags. Either I work 70 hours , or I quit my job entirely.
Why is everything black and white with you? You need to spend some time with yourself and reflect on that. Part of being a man is learning to find balance in everything, and a wise man learns to appreciate the delicate balance in everything.

Good luck brother. You have so much room to grow, but I think if you stop searching outwardly for solutions, and instead start looking within, you will soon find the peace you are looking for.

OP, I didn't read your entire post, only the first paragraph about how your brother is not the right person to inherit your fathers' business.

Can you go out and get a job which would pay as well as running your family business? If yes, then go and find it and let your brother have the business.

I've been off GLP for a month trying to get myself better from a health issue and it has been good therapy for me. Maybe just leave the interwebs for a while and see how you feel then. Cannot hurt and once you come back you might notice how unimportant the interwebs, politics, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh have become to your inner peace. I tuned into Rush on Wednesday and I just could not listen for a few minutes. I've listened to him religiously for over twenty years...daily... and now I've found him to be nothing but an agent provocateur. No real solutions, no real rallying of the troops, no real anything, just bellicose rantings for ratings.


Get off the webs, radio, television and love your kids and wife. Then focus on something which you can conquer, like a hobby. It will not hurt your passion for conservatism, but just might keep your sanity in check.

Financially, if we cut back a few big ticket expenses, we're stable without having to work. If I quit, I will lose out on some shares in the company that are granted to me every 10 years. It's a substantial amount, for sure, but is it worth this time?

I had my own business for 20 years, best thing I did was to close it and spend more time with my family. I was missing so much.

I wouldn't make any decisions until after your family vacation. You clearly need a break, to relax. Anything can happen that might change things up in the near future.

He's your brother. Maybe you should spend some one on one time with him. If it's mainly his politics that is making you angry, remember family should come first.

My husband has worked 7 x 12’s for months on end, try that! Your situation sounds a lot better so stop complaining.
Btw is your brother like that uncle in “Its a Wonderful Life?”
If so just figure that your dad feels he needs to support him due to his poor genetic inheritance.

Kids are cute when they're young and still sweet ... then they rebel and break your heart . It's good to be away from the family for times .. that way you all don't get sick of each other . Take a note from your dad ... maybe just get to a point where u can scale back your hours a bit to a more normal 40hrs . Or close to it . I myself work 60 plus hrs a week . Sometimes less . I learned a lot from 2008 so I always have that fear in the back of my mind . That's my motivation . God is great . He blesses me everyday.



Does your brother drink or do drugs or is he just an asshole ? Cause sometimes when your running a business you have to be an asshole or else people will walk all over you .
