What do you think - are there advantages to work when you bring up children? Or it's better to give up the work. Give reasons for both choices please. thank you.

Some people really have no choice. Life is difficult and very difficult for some people. But regardless of whether you have a choice or not, here are some things to consider:
1. At your job, no matter what you do, you are easily replaceable. If you were to quit today, your boss would say good bye, gee, they will miss you, then by Monday they will have 100 people ready to interview for your job who can do the job just as well as you (if not better).
2. But to your children, you are the most important person in the universe. No one will love them or care for them as much as you. You are their God. You are irreplaceable.

So, if you don't have a choice, you have to do whatever you have to do. But if you do have a choice, it is something to think about.
