[quote=Anonymous]As the breadwinner, yes- having kids has made me work harder. After my first kid, I became more serious at work. Focused and worked harder when I was there. Wasted less time. It was noticed by my bosses and I was promoted to VP the year after I had my child. and I had another child. Several years later I had surprise twins. I was downsized with severance 3 months after I returned from maternity leave. I freaked out. I thought, OMG, I have to find another job asap. I have 4 kids to support. I put 110% into job search, found a so so job, but then got a new job with great promotion the next year, making more than double my pay. We had lots of savings. Many people would have taken a break to relax, but I didn't feel that was an option for me. So, for me, being the breadwinner with 4 kids definitely pushed me to work harder and achieve more than I ever thought possible. [/quote]
