I was a "heart" girl.. that got me into too many silly relationships, a "starter" marriage, another engagemant etc.. you get the drift....
Since having my children, I have had to be a head girl.. I honestly dont think you can raise happy, healthy children by following your own heart, you have to follow theirs.
If I followed my own heart these last few years, or my "wants", we'd be in a much different, probably worse, place.
I have wanted to move to Newcastle, the Gold Coast, buy a farm, (WTF?) move countries etc... not just top of my head stuff, properly looked into and all.... and to be honest, although my kids would of been "ok", I didnt have them to be just ok, I want them to be happy and stable, so my wants/needs are pushed aside, just for now!!!
But that said, had my "heart" wants been great for the kids long term too, then it might be a different story!!!
