It's quite a job, so to speak, when you can really be with your child for 21 out of 24 hours.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think, like every working parent, I sometimes feel that there are not enough hours in the day. But overall, I'm very fortunate that my job has a lot of flexibility. I spend a lot of time with the kids, just around the house.
I don't want my kids to grow up with no father like I did. I came to the conclusion a while ago that you can work until midnight and not be finished or you can work until 6 or 7 and not be finished. I decided I'd rather work until 6 or 7.
I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.
It is true that as you have children, there are a good many months when you don't want to be working full-time. I agree that that's an issue.
You cannot work and be at home with your child. But you want both.
If I manage to get seven hours' sleep, I'm a pretty good parent.
I've always wanted to be a mom at 23, 24ish, ever since I was a little girl. I'm right on schedule.
I just want to make sure when I have kids, I can spend time with them. That's the whole point.
It's not enough to make time for your children. There are certain stages in their lives when you have to give them the time when they want it. You can't run your family like a company. It doesn't work.
I'm so adamant that being a really good parent does not mean you have to be there 24/7. I find that I'm never not thinking about where they are, but instead of it stressing me out, it comforts me to know that I'm completely aware of their schedule, and they're with someone I trust.
