Most people make their family as number one priority. But do you believe that there are some who make their job as first priority than their family? I do believe it. There are those who choose to work far away from home and family because of the job. What about you would you prefer to be a way because of the job?

My family always will come first above anything or anybody else, especially my children. No one is more important to me than my family certainly no job I wouldnt put a job first when that job could easily be lost any day. Jobs can easily be found I will do any job to earn some money as long as it does not have to come before my family. and any job which tried to make me put my children second would soon realise it will get them nowhere id leave before that happened!

that is very good!! I like your idea, me too i don't want work to be on top of my family. I mean leaving my family behind and I will work far away? just to earn more money? I know life is hard but it is easier when family is in tact.

Here in my country, many parents have resorted to work in other countries to give a better future to their family. They have no other choice because of the low income and hard life that they could get if they will stay here. I think there's nothing wrong to work in faraway places as long as you have proper communication with your family. And always have a time table on how long will you do this, if you think you have earned enough for the well being of your family, I think you just have to stay and find work where your family stays. Because nothing can replace the family even with a million money and luxurious things.

exactly, money is useless when family is broken. Well, yes, there are people who are working far away that still has a strong bond with their family but most are having another family where they are working and that is a very sad reality. I don;t like that.

Fmaily is def. #1. I have always put my family first and always will. In fact my husband and I believe that it is important for one of us to raise our children at all times. Which means one of us will always be home, with out a job. This makes it a little harder to save money but the rewards are far worth it. You can't put a price on being at home wih your children. I have friends that are the opposite and are away from home often. In fact one of them puts their kids in daycare for longer than needed just to have time alone. THis is stange to me.

I believe that family comes first before any kind of work. I once had a work place tell me that my work comes first and then my kids after that was said to me it didnt take me long to quit my job.
