Children Quote by Laura Linney
“Where I did feel a difference is learning to just work in a different way so that your resources are not completely depleted so that you don't have anything to give to your child when you go home, and fortunately I've been working long enough that I know how to make that shift so that I don't compromise my work or compromise my relationships; not compromising parenting is really the biggest difference.”

![“I don't know any other job that the off-the-field issues - especially something personal like that - affects your job. But as far as the parenting lesson, no [I understood that]. To me it was so simple, it was a situation where I disciplined my child and it didn't turn out the way I wanted.” quote by Adrian Peterson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/83b/adrian-peterson-10270_children_i-don-t-know-any-other-job-that-the-off_2423026.jpg)
