It’s a bit of a balancing act but you only get one of these babies but careers come and go. It’s getting better in the fact that you’ve got a lot more fathers taking time off so, for instance, I’m splitting it 50/50 with my partner this time around, and so the burden isn’t so much on the mother always, any more. Especially not in Vancouver. You see lots of dads walking around during the day with baby carriages, so it’s getting better and companies are getting more aware of the fact that they’re not going to shy away from hiring a woman because she’s around 30 and just got married and might have kids some day. The tide is turning, slowly. And I don’t feel like as a whole my career has been held back by it, but there’s definitely been opportunities that I’ve missed out on.
