There's an internal battle. I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids and the kids win.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.
I can't work without my family being with me.
You cannot work and be at home with your child. But you want both.
I have more time to work; I just do. Because once your kids are up and running, that frees you up a good 20, 30, hours a week.
Working from home as a mother is the worst of everything. You don't have clear boundaries. The kids can get used to you going to work; they can't get used to you ignoring them. And work sometimes gets the message you're not as committed.
I've worked too hard all my life to have my kids control my life.
I have a life. My kids don't run my house.
Now, I have a kid, I have businesses to take care of, I have to travel. I have to sit down... and find a little time for me.
I don't have to work; I need to work.
I know what I am in Washington to do: I'm here to fight for hardworking families.
