Harold Ramis Quotes

Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working, you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children, you're thinking about working.

Sometimes you can't prioritise family and you feel guilty.

I'm like any working mom.

Sometimes I think, 'Why should I work out when I can spend time with my kids?' I feel guilty doing something for me.

With a parent, it's always guilt. You want to be there, but you kind of also want to be here.

I often feel very guilty because of the time that I spend outside of my home and the little time that sometimes I have for my kids.

For now, for this year, I need to be a good mother.

I feel like I'm one of the many working mothers. And I only have one child. I know working mums who have three or four. It's definitely a challenge but it's a wonderful challenge to be able to do both.

One thing I didn't want to believe in is that I couldn't have a family and do music at the same time.

I have dedicated myself to development of the state and hardly get time to spend with my family.

I feel such a sense of empowerment being a mom. But I do wonder: How do they/we do it all?

I've taken blame about being a bad father - if being a bad father is working your butt off trying to create a career at one time.

Food, love, career, and mothers, the four major guilt groups.

I'm doing less than I used to because I'm a family man now, and I have two kids.

My biggest project right now is trying to be a really great mom and learning how to balance family and career. I'm just trying to spend as much time with my family as I can.

My son was five months old, and I built a makeshift studio in my living room so that I could do the attachment parenting approach and write the record at the same time. That was fortuitous, that we could build that in the house.

My only regret in life is that I didn't spend as much time with my kids as I now wish I had.

I have three kids and a wife, and any moments that aren't dedicated to working on this film in some way, or family, are immediately reserved for sleep.

You should never do anything too much. If you only eat healthy food, that is too much. Success is balance - a banker with no time with his kids, he's not successful. If he doesn't have time to walk his kids to school, that is not success - that is a mistake.

Women don't give up things. They don't give up responsibilities. They add new things. They exhaust themselves and still don't give anything up. And. And. And. And. And they do all these other things at the same time, which can be exhausting.

I was not a very good mother. I was always running out to do a movie or something. If I had to do it over, I would either have a career or children. I wouldn't do both unless I could work in my home. I spent 20 years feeling guilty, which is not a very nice emotion.

That said, my kids are at home right now with my husband and I'm missing something important at my daughter's school which makes me feel sick inside. It's a lot of balance and a lot of really hard decision making.

As a mom, that's at the forefront of everything in my mind, so I'm always trying to balance, whether it's bringing Violet to work or, the second I am done working, getting home to her.
