Here's the thing about work: it makes me a better parent. I can leave my little guy sleeping, knowing he'll wake up and his grandmother will be there to transition him into the day. She will be fully present with him and keep to the routine they've established, feed him well, ease him into a two-hour siesta, and prepare him for my and my husband's return in the early evening.
I'm a mom all the time, but work provides identity as well, and teaches me to both cherish the time with him and make the most of the time away.
