I don't actually know what world you all live in, but in my world I think of myself as a firefighter. As a Mom and wife and employee, I go around all day putting out fires. What takes precedence in my life is what needs to take precedence. My H understands that and does not presume to think he is #1 every day of the year, and neither are any of the children. Everyone has to accept that the family is a team struggling against a wide range of obstacles, and when one of us, any one of us, needs help, focus, or attention, we are all to be there helping. That's what family means to me.
