I think that if the kids love their parents, they would want them to be happy, and they would want to be able to see them and spend time with them.
I understand breaking your back to put your kid through college, but if your work-life balance is so bad that you never get to spend any time with them while they're growing up, how much are you actually helping them? That's not even going into the resentment that the parent builds up for all of the sacrifices that they feel they have to make.
