Priorities changed after my daughter

 
Caroline was extremely career-driven before she had a baby.

 
I'm one of those women who wanted it all career-wise but after I had my daughter, everything else took second place.

I used to be the HR bureaucrat who enforced all the company rules but after I had Chloe I want to change the world for working mothers everywhere (haven't gotten very far).

I think that it's in our genetic make-up that our children will always take precedence over everything else. Historically women have always been the nurturers. Which is probably why dad doesn't feel the inclination to make drastic changes to his working life to accommodate baby.

Perhaps I'm being generalist but this is certainly the trend. Whatever it is though, for as long as I live, my child will always be my greatest achievement.

Caroline

As a women by the time you become a mother you will realise that a child is a precious gift from GOD. I remeber the time i gave birth to my first born Witness i even thougth of leaving school and playing with her.but don't forget that your child need to eat and live a wonderful life so don't forget your possesion at work be what yo are.
