I think it's harder for women because we carry baggage with us - we think about everyone else but ourselves. I am glad that we think make our children a priority, but my husband is fond of reminding me that it doesn't do our kids any good to have a stressed out, over-tired mom.

It's great you wrote about choosing your daughter over everything else in line. It's something we do as mothers quite a bit, but most employers/clients fail to notice we're working our tails off at home along with meeting our deadlines. I chose to work at home to be with my children. One is autistic and needs her father or I around at all times. It's not the bunny slippers and bon bons everyone dreams of, but it is rewarding.

I know I did it to have a flexible schedule so I could be there for my twins. And it's certainly paid off for them. But for me, I sometimes need a nap! It's worth it in the end- even if I am up at 5 am! You know, when we decide to be entrepreneurs, I think we typically do it for the ‘dreamed’ lifestyle.

I make the same kinds of scheduling sacrifices (mostly giving up sleep) so that I can be a good mom to my three kiddos. It drives me nuts to hear folks say that I have it "easy" because I work for myself. Those people have no idea! And cheers for your daughter's squad! Good for you!
