Although I don't have children of my own, I've spent enough time around them to be able to say that if you took time off from running a company to spend time with your children, you exchanged one type of work for another. This is actually what a lot of people do when they say they are retired. What they really mean is that they quit doing their job on a nine to five, 40-60 hours a week basis and exchanged it for some other sort of work, maybe a craft they always wanted to do but never had time to do when the demands of the job were consuming all their energy or some intellectual pursuit, maybe write a book. Since I work at what I studied to be, what I wanted most to do, regardless of the money, it has always felt like I'm retired pursuing that thing most never have time for. Why retire from doing what you really want to do? OTOH my husband is a "have to do" type person. He works at something that he'd tell you he wouldn't do if he didn't need the money. He puts up with the work because he needs the money, I put up with the money because I need the work.
