Example | I couldn't go to my child's game yesterday because I had to work. | I've got my priorities wrong - I'm being a bad parent. | No! I go to as many games as I can, and my job helps me save for my child's education. | I'm the best parent I can be … and I'm putting aside money for my child's future. My priorities are OK. |
