Then I got a job working at schools so I could always be with them.<br /><br />Sadly they don't seem to remember all that we did together in their early years, and during that time I have lost a career. <br /><br />I'm not sure I'd recommend the same path to my daughter.

My wife and I were lucky we were on the last wave I think of the generation where you could consider not working to bring up your kids - I really don't think it is an option now.<br /><br />It is without a doubt the most important job but sadly all of society seems to be turned around... how many people simply view themselves as defined by their work rather than their family?Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.com
