Shoutout to founders balancing kids and company growth

My sister keeps saying I'm neglecting family dinners for investor meetings. How do you handle pushback from relatives who don't get the startup grind?

Heard about my friend's aunt complaining he skipped Thanksgiving. He invited her to sit in on a investor call. She kinda got it after seeing the pressure.

Your sister might not realize how critical investor meetings are for keeping the business alive. These moments shape the company's path and affect everyone who depends on it. Relatives see the missed dinners but not the saved jobs or new chances. Inviting them to see the work could help, like in that story. It's a tough spot, but short term sacrifices often lead to long term gains. Finding ways to include family in small ways might ease the tension.

Tell her the investors want to eat too.
