We all need balance in life. In fact, we crave for it. And same as Tania, how I wish there was someone who told these things to me but mine was, before getting married (choosing a sperm-donor in this regard. I call my ex like that).

It must be very difficult--and if you're the Tania I think you are, your son is absolutely adorable; even if your career is very important to you, it must be hard not to be able to spend as much time with him as you want. You're right that there is no going back, but have you looked into options for going forward? Do you have to stay in the position you're in, climbing the ladder, or would it be possible for you to stay in your field while moving to a position that didn't require so many hours, even if it meant no more advancements, less money, and/or less prestige?Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249491905813918066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171449100604531845.post-34141227400301013222012-08-09T07:22:19.643+03:002012-08-09T07:22:19.643+03:00I love this entry.

I feel like I have to schedule time for my family (which is sad). Now after having a beautiful son, do I finally see happiness beyond academic success. I wish I could plan around my job rather than my family. Unfortunately there is no going back. . . It is odd to say this, but I wish to stop climbing in the career ladder and maybe find a level where I can reach an "acceptable" balance between family and work.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16762933694885269210noreply@blogger.com
