They are drawn to their kids, but at the same time many love their "old" jobs and don't want to turn their back on them completely. I used to work as a lawyer in a large firm, and I tried for several years to balance that with motherhood. I got a bit disillusioned (and exhausted) somewhere along the way, and currently I am taking a break from law. I haven't lost my passion for it, though...<br /> <br />By the way, Sara Perring writes a great blog and her latest post talks about Glass Ceilings.

Congratulations! The thing is, although my two tear each other apart sometimes, I do think parenting two is easier than parenting one. There are whole hours sometimes when they play beautifully together, they share experiences and toys and friends, and the dynamic is somehow more lively and colourful than when I only had one. I also hope (like my sister and me) in years to come their childhood memories will be a real bond between them. Having said that, sometimes the noise and chaos and the petty fights are A Real Challenge. On balance, though, I much prefer having two :)Katriinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403719183047819222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668756162872571497.post-59833973498161721332012-02-09T09:03:49.292+02:002012-02-09T09:03:49.292+02:00Great post and although I can't identify 100% ...Great post and although I can't identify 100% having just one child (at the moment - 2nd on the way ARGH! LOL) I'm like that with just the one - I was an only child so I don't 'get' the sibling fighting thing so I'm a bit nervous about it all. I'm holding on to the fact that the good times are really good, enough to get us through it, and keeping my fingers crossed!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680944355410506460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668756162872571497.post-26857479272231754842012-02-07T17:10:03.660+02:002012-02-07T17:10:03.660+02:00Thanks, Here come the girls!

I am really lucky in that these days I have lots of those, and even still, I regularly have moments like the one that prompted this post. I am truly in awe of people who have three and four and even larger numbers of children, and even more in awe of single parents (or parents whose spouse can't or won't help out) who do most of it on their own.
