But anyone who tells you there is not a price to pay for doing it all is lying to you. There is a price, and you must decide if you are willing to pay it. Where I can make a choice, I do, and given the choice between a clean garage and going skiing, I choose skiing, especially if it gives me time with my children. In the short term, you may not be able to find equality in apportioning out your time and efforts. But you must look at your life as a work in progress and not get frustrated that at times, your children will take precedence and at others, your job will.
Balance means hard choices.
Bringing balance to your life will also bring choices you don't like and will resent. Don't let the pitfalls of the moment discourage you. Balance means taking selfish time for yourself. Don't neglect your own needs. You must take care of yourself.
