Reflections: Career as a Mom

Just jotting down my thoughts... I have come to realize - career as a mom is very short compared to many other careers a woman can have - you have at most 10 years (18 years if you are fortunate) and then you reach your retirement age (for by age 18, your child does not need you anymore, nor will you have any more influence). Joshua is soon turning 4. I have 6 – 14 years left. I have to make full use of it.
