I don't waste as much time at work because I'd rather spend it with my kids.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.
I probably spend more time with my kids than the average stay-at-home mother.
I work a lot of hours, and in this business you really try to keep as busy as you possibly can. Sometimes when you really focus on kids in your free time you lose the husband and wife relationship to some degree. It's been a real focus for us to make sure we stay focused on us two.
I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.
I don't work all the time. That's why I waited to have children until I was ready for that. I try to organise my time according to them because they need me. I don't want to put my work first anymore because it's not as important as my children.
Any job I choose has to work with my schedule with my kids. I don't want to miss any of my time with them.
Kids are a huge sacrifice; they change everything - but I'm ready to work for things of greater importance than going out to meet someone for dinner at 10 o'clock at night.
When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.
I'm learning to trust other people to do things. My time is limited, and I'd rather be spending it with my kids.
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.
