"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child."

“My children come first”
[This is a guest post]
I really hope this website takes off. I left medicine about two and half years ago after having my fourth child. My children are now involved in many activities which I believe they wouldn’t be able to do if I still worked. ( there is no way I would be able to get them to 5:30 practices) Watching my kids play their sports is my biggest joy. Might sound lame but it is way more important to me than my career was. My employer wasn’t willing to accommodate my need to be more available to my children so I didn’t return after my maternity leave. I do think about going back but quite honestly I just don’t want to do it anymore.
I am looking forward to more insight from this site. I hope it is a success.
