I have a very difficult, high-pressured job. Everyone knows how challenging it is to balance family responsibilities with a job that takes me across the country and working extremely hard.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Finding that balance between work and family is the hardest thing I've ever done - by far.
I have a career, which is important, but my family is the priority. First family, and then career. It's a delicate balance.
My family are my priority but I've always had a strong work ethic and I like to be busy.
Some people have a terrible stretch between family and work. It is a difficult thing to achieve.
The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family.
I grew up in a family struggling for work.
It's hard to balance work and family.
I come from a working-class family, and I've been working since I was 13, from babysitting to blueberry picking to factory work to bookstore work. And of course, being a mother and homemaker, the hardest work of all.
It's very comforting to know that you are faced with a difficult job. If someone gives you a job which shows every sign of being easy, then you are a prisoner of effortlessness.
For me, family is life. The decision to start one wasn't complex at all. My career has been wonderful, but it's not my life. I don't feel pressure to get back to work.
