I like to be with my children. I love being in charge. I don’t get many breaks. I get stressed out and I get angry often. (mother - ENFP)
I like having the freedom to run my home and raise my children as I see fit. I get a great deal of satisfaction out of the progress I see my children make toward the very long-term goals I have.
