Just me. I could be all wrong on this. But responsibilities change once you have little ones... again imo.
DTS. Of course kids have a hard time even with their parents sometimes. But... well I have seen the effects. The biggest fear of kids is the loss of a parent. By the time they get a little older... then you are allowed to die on them.

Bite your tongue, pgardn. The world would be a poorer place without you.
Having grown up without a mom after age 10, I can testify that yes, it sucks, but you get past it. But I don't think a parent can spend his or her life avoiding any sort of risk because of fear of dying on the kids. I would fear you'd wind up with grown-up children afraid of taking risks themselves. And this was his job and he made an awful lot of money doing it. And he loved doing it. It's more than a lot of people get in their entire lives.
My two cents, anyway.
