    A question for all the QBN parents or marrieds here (these questions are mutually exclusive)

    1. Has being married changed the way you work or relate to the people you work with? Perhaps even work itself?

    2. Has having children or an additional responsibility (like a child) changed the way you work with others, or even possibly how you're in a relationship with others or those in your community?

    3. Has either changed your goals from when you did not have a kid (kids)?

    • #3 was not clear. Has having either changed your goals from when these things were not present.notype
