I have heard of many people missing their lives due to dairy cows... have some friends that went through it. The kids won't even talk to the parents because all they ever did was stay home and milk cows...
My wife and I decided to live a less glamorous life as teachers since we planned on having a family. The only time that will be difficult is the first five years until the little one goes to school... after that our schedules will match up just fine (other than the kid will probably get tired of going to school early and staying late every day!). I believe spending time with my family will be much better than making tons of money working 60 to 80 hours + per week. Those 80 hour weeks were fine when I was single, but not anymore... just the few weeks in the summer stresses my wife as I help Dad quite a bit.

I don't know how profitable the dairy business is these days, but I do know you can run a pretty big herd of beef cattle that are much lower maintenance/less labor intensive.
