Abstract

[Today’s dads come in many shapes and sizes; many of us are still the primary breadwinner in the family, but most of us place much greater emphasis on family than our counterparts in previous generations, including our own fathers. On the one hand, that represents progress from a time not so long ago when men rose early each day, went to work, then came home and focused as much or more on a cocktail and the newspaper than on their children. On the other hand, today’s men, especially Gen Xers, are faced with daily dilemmas around choosing work, family, or their own pursuits. And it’s even more complicated in family businesses where men from different generations work together, each bringing biases and expectations about work-life balance. This chapter helps fathers, sons, and those around them deal with the frustration this tricky situation often generates.]
