I have been thinking about this a lot lately.
When I was younger I told myself that I would always choose family over career.
I said it would not be question at all.
I was saying and thinking that without actual experience of what it is like going to be if I am put in that situation.

My job right now is providing for my family but it is not my dream job.
I know I could do more and would like to do more.
Doing more would mean more money and advancement and career fulfilment for myself.

I am choosing Family over career.
I could apply for a more challenging job, a higher paying one, or even push to get one, but knowing that by doing so, it will impact my family life in a way that is not worth the extra hundreds of dollars a month.
Doing more will equate to less time: less quality time with my family.

When our son is older, maybe I will be able to do more with my career needs and goals, but for now, ME as far as career is taking a back seat. And it is worth it.

My heart is where my family is.
