Brief Answer: You are already clear in your priorities Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Its a very common dilemma for the working women. Most of them are confused of their priorities as they tend to give equal weightage to both family and work and that causes stress. They are neither good mother/wife nor are they good professionals. After going through your question and description, part of the problem already seems to be solved as your professional life interests you more and that satisfies your more. You are more happy being in office working and interacting with colleagues and that is fine.You need not be guilty about it. Everybody is not the same and everybody have their own interests. Now what remains is giving some time to your family as well. Weekends are a good time when your official responsibilities are paused and then you can give time to your family. Also evening hours are good for your family. You can have maid arranged for house hold work so that you can spent quality time with your family instead of doing the house chores. There is no need to feel guilty about it as bu feeling guilty you wont be able to fulfill any of the roles properly. and thats all the more worse. Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
