If it is for all those reasons, then it is worth it.
what ever makes you happy!
Sarah,
I hope I am not "advicing" you. But are your doing the same
'mistake', again? First you lived for your 3 sister and now for your 3 kids. Please dont read it in a bad sense,but I know my Uncle who survived a major illness and worked every single minute for his 3 kids. Today when they all are above 18, I have seen them cursing him,neglecting him -- making him cry. He is one dad who would buy a sports car for his kid, but would skip a lunch if that will add to the money. A very loving dad and one of the kids recently told me," Dad lives for money only!" I wanted to slap him. Taht uncle did 3 jobs to support his family and also since he had so much kadam due to his illness. They all know that,still. These kids will realise what they are doing only when they are too late! So, live for yourself a little bit too, and no dont give away your career for anyone. I mean ,I am not saying you should work 24 hours and ignore your kids. Hope you understand what im trying to say.
That might be the only thing you will have to fall back upon. Love only flows downwards,most of the times. So, I would want to hear someone call you Dr Sarah and mama too!!
