I regularly fluctuate between wishing I didn't have to work at all, and really enjoying the work I do and feeling a bit guilty about it. After all, shouldn't I want to stay home with my children at all costs?
Well, I've come to the conclusion that I need to stop feeling guilty. The guilt will affect my performance and mood in all areas of my life and then I won't enjoy anything and no one will enjoy being around me!
If I really had the option to not work, I would definitely take a good long break from my career to see my children to a certain age where they are a little more independent. After that, I would most definitely go back to work to a job that I love and to an environment that is flexible enough to adapt to my family life.
At the moment, I don't have the option, the family budget just won't allow it, so I count my blessings that I am working in an environment that is flexible and where work life balance is valued.
My 11 year old wants to work in a job like mine... so she must see something good about it ;)
Happy balancing!
