RE: still further off topic --> RE: Work vs marriage

I'm one of the lucky ones, I guess. My job rarely requires=20 overtime. The only drawback is that I am the only DBA, in fact, the only Oracle staff of any kind. If I am sick or on=20 vacation and something goes wrong ... <shudder>.

My husband stays home with our kids (4 and 1.5). He has a small business that takes up a day or two a week as well. His responsibilities and hours are much more significant than mine, IMHO!

My problem is not balancing my job and my family life, it is balancing all the things I would like to do against spending more time with my kids. I keep reminding myself that they are only small for a short time.

I may regret this, but here goes ...

Interesting thread, but it's been primarily from the male perspective. How many female DBA's feel they have been able to succeed in this field while balancing marriage, children and a home? How many of the men are married to someone with a job with responsibilities/hours comparable to that of a DBA? Received on Fri Jun 02 2000 - 10:58:07 CDT
