There are a few key things I want to change and accomplish over the next few years. As a woman in my late early thirties who adores kids there are only so many years left until little feet hopefully will fill our house. And that makes making the most of now more urgent.
It’s a truth you start to face as woman reaching your thirties. You know you only have a certain number of years to play with if you want a family. It’s hard. At times it feels a bit unfair and it can also be really confusing. But it’s the reality of things and something you need to deal with. You start to think about and plan your career moves around the prospect of when you’re likely to start a family. Not that you can ever control it, but you try the best you can. At least I do and I know most of my friends do as well. You may wait to resign if you work in a place where the maternity leave is good. Or you quit, like I did so that you have some time to build things up before the time comes.
This year has been really good in so many ways but byflock wise it has not moved as far as I’d wanted it to. It’s probably a valuable lesson for my inpatient self, but it does put more pressure on now. And things are finally starting to move, in a few different ways. 2013 is going to be a brilliant year.
