Being a parent can actually teach you how to be a better professional. You have to learn to leave your frustrations behind. Very often, women end up carrying their domestic traumas to the work place. This can become a major problem for others in the office. Children do not have goals, they have tasks. Parents have goals for their kids. To the child, grades do not matter and completing class...
