![“Ladies, [motherhood] is a full-time job. Do not kid yourself that you can be a dental receptionist and a mother; that you can be a typist and a mom; that you can be a Vice President and a mom. One of the two things will win. Now look at your Bible and ask what you have to do.” quote by Alistair Begg](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1d9/alistair-begg-2884_asks_ladies-motherhood-is-a-full-time-job-do_15681.jpg)
