I finished a Tafe Certificate (topped the State), degree & graduate diploma after child number 2, & a diploma of financial services after number 4.

I am instrumental in running 4 separate businesses, complete with quarterly BAS, tax returns, in excess of 10 bank accounts (including balancing them every month!) and have managed up to 8 investment properties at one stage.

Furthermore, I worked during all my pregnancies, and had 3 days off for my 4th (caesarean) birth.

Do you think that your observations on 2 family members is a wide enough sample? Or perhaps it’s more…

After 4 kids, it’s amazing that I’m not wiping the dribble off my chin!

Oh, and I’d give my mum a call if I were you & make peace!
