Someone told me when I was younger "Life is about making compromises". That doesn't mean you need to get you're dream out of the way, just adjust the path towards your point of destination, including the needs of your family.
In the theoretical situation of a family having a baby (the one that filled the pages here), you all talk about, what I need, what I want, you forget that once you get a family, its about what you all want, what you all need. In that mixture you need to include your own needs and wishes, without forgetting the needs and wishes of the others.

That's the theoretical perfect situation, however life isn't perfect and, most of the times, it comes to a choice for a detour for one of the parents. A "sacrifice" is a lot said, because you can get back on your path once it reaches day care time / school age and until that part time is a possibility.
