On top of that, I was acutely conscious that I was working instead of spending time with my 6-year-old, whom I’d just picked up from school....

This question typically becomes difficult when you’ve applied to work at several different companies. (Whereas if you’ve always wanted to work at the one place you have an interview, the answer to the question will be easier.)
