If you ask your daughter (or son for that matter), if they would want your job or your life and they pause, maybe you should too. Just because you can do the impossible, doesn't mean you need to. A wise woman said, "I wasn't there all the time but I was there when it mattered most."

"Balance" suggests that women's role is to straddle both carefully ensuring that each side stays perfectly equal to one another.
