I have a dilemma. In the future I will be the breadwinner(engineer) in my relationship. I want kids but if I can’t spend as much time with them because I have to work and provide them should I reconsider having kids?

Maybe! I’m sure there’s ways to get around it (like working at a place with frequent time off or PTO) and even full time workers make time for their kids ^^

It all depends on the Job you have/want and all the things you are willing to put down for it, also items like where you live, housing situations, what do you want for the kids and is it realistically possible to do while working X amount of time to find the lifestyle you set out. Some places are great, example mt ex has an extremely well paying job for doing extremely little work anyone could do but he has the right credentials to attain it (vet military)
