As long as I live I will never understand the desire that some people, though it’s mostly men, will have to climb the corporate ladder or rise to the heights of government or some other such body, when that achievement can only ever be at the expense of being around your children.
As long as I live and irrespective of whatever else I achieve, nothing will ever get as close to making me as proud as these two do every day. Well almost every day, when they’re having a hissy fit at bed time, refusing to brush their teeth or peeing on the floor rather than in the toilet despite what I’ve told them to do countless times one does find oneself asking what the hell they were thinking that having children was a great idea.
