One further observation: the original poster never said she alone could choose to spend more time with her child, yet many people are leaping to this conclusion. Both her and her husband are incredibly successful and both of them could spend all day at home; OP did not exclude this possibility. Perhaps her husband will stay at home. But she clearly will choose not to spend much time at home (at least not initially).
Ultimately the original poster is objectively correct in stating that anybody who, in a position of absolute and complete financial independence, chooses not to spend more time with their children makes a very public statement about their priorities. You only have a fixed amount of time in life, and a fixed amount of time to spend with your children. It simply is not possible to be CEO of Yahoo without compromising on the time you spend with your children.
Whether or not it will have a measurable effect on the development of her relationship with her children, or their future personalities, is a matter for personal opinion.
