which is more important to you, career or famliy

Hi Cassie. I am a working mother of 2 boys and i would love nothing more then to stay at home with them.I feel like being a mother is a job by itself.By the time i get home from work, I am so tired that i feel like i am neglecting my family because all i want to do is take a shower and go to bed.You can be a sucessful woman by being a mother and wife.There is no harder job then that.

Right now, career is key for me. I will still a crazy workaholic even when I have kids which I plan to do. I don't think I even know how to be any different. Fortunately, my jobs are: writer, public speaker, and dance instructor (I listed them in order of money earned on an average month). So I'll have plenty of time to hang out with my kids and go to their activities. I'm sure they'll inspire me to write new adventures that wouldn't have been written without them.

Hi cassie. I agree with you, life is beautiful and having said so wouldn't it be better to spend it with your loved ones; your family (when you have one) than to toil and torture yourself all in the name of your career? Yes having a good career is something to be proud of and losing it might be a big blow to you but bear in mind, careers can be rebuilt from scratch again but you can't do the same for you family.

I have a family that sincerely cares about my career and I am thankful to them. Regarding your career, pl discuss with your family and cut a balance between. You get accommodated when you accommodate others, as far as one's family is concerned. Best of luck

Hi there... This is easy, I choose my family to be more important then a career. I think if home and family life are not well, happy and right, then career opportunities would be troubled and fustrating all the time...

im not married yet so im also into work right now. but which is more important? my family! thats the reason why i'm working in the first place.. to provide for them.. if i have an opportunity to be housewife i would definitely love that.. not that i don't like to work.. i can work if i have to but i want to be there for my children and for my husband.. at the end of the day, they are what's more important and the last thing that you think of..

my career is important for me cause i support my family with my career. but of course i cannot and will not choose my career over my family. my priority is always my family. after all, everything i do is for them and for them to have a better life.

yes sometimes i wish i am an octopus so i have 8 hands so i can do everything at the same time. i am a single mom of four children so career and family are both important for me. if i dont work then we wont have food on the table. i just wish i have a choice for i will choose to be a mother who stays at the house to be with my children.

family of course, but we all need to work. but our career is just another job just to get us by. it mustnt go first before family. in the end, our family is all that will matter.

My suggestion to you is just enjoy what you can do this time, and when you have family later and you choose to be in the house, not working anymore you will not regret cause you had your great time already.

Dear Cassie, Do that as much as you can now itself dear, that is paying attention to your career now that you are single. Only we women have to think about this. In my case first my father didn't allow me to go and work.After I got married my husband gave me a choice. He allowed me to write the bank entrance but I got pregnant sooner than expected. The choice was left to me. I decided to give preference for my family. I never regretted it only sometimes a pang or two about not being able to earn for myself. But now my kids are grown up and on their own. I can earn on the net and also going to work with my husband. So I got what I needed later in my life. Enjoy life the way you want it to be. All the best

At the mo Cassie its just me and Hubby at home now,I value our time together,its good. Ive worked long hours in years gone by,but im not sure there was a lot to be gained from it all!! Except for being pretty tierd! People nowadays think a career is everything in life,but im not too convinced.

hi,cassie. I'm still a student now and also a female. I think that both career and family are important. That's to say, we need our family to share our feelings with them and we also need our career to fulfill our goal. But what we need to think is that when our family and our career conflict, what can we do? Do we want to mantain our family or our career? For me, certainly, is my family. I believe that the feelings between our family members are so strong that I want to keep. What's more, our family members are our dearest friends in life. So I want to mantain that feelings.

i love my family the most. i choose family. :)

Family is definately more important, unfortunately staying home doesnt buy the groceries, it is doable, I was a stay at home mom for 11 years, but became a single mom and had to work, its not easy but it all works how it is supposed to. I would love to just stay home with my kids again, that was the best, but like I said earlier it doesnt pay the bills.

My family are the most important thing in my life. I have 2 beautifull children and they are my world but also my job and career is important too as a single parent I need to work and earn money to take care of my family and make sure they have everything they need.
