One of my great all-time loves in cinema and I've seen it three times is Bondarchuk's 'War and Peace.' Not a lot of people may have seen that film. It was made during the Soviet era.
I think my children know that Mother's priority is to be with them first. But I don't think it has to be an either/or situation. Work is very important to me and it wouldn't be in the best interest of my children for me to stay home seven days a week.
