"I would say that I don't play golf and I don't have a mistress so, I have a lot of time that a lot of these other men don't," she told the Fox Business Network.

Conway continued: "I see people on the weekend spending an awful lot of time on their golf games and that's their right, but the kids will be with me, we live in the same house, and they come first."

The pollster and GOP operative said moving forward she hoped to also "continue the conversation as a nation about the balance that many men and women face" between their jobs and family life.

President-elect Donald Trump's transition team announced on Thursday morning that Conway would join the administration as a White House counselor.

"She is a tireless and tenacious advocate of my agenda and has amazing insights on how to effectively communicate our message. I am pleased that she will be part of my senior team in the West Wing."

Conway said she was thrilled by the "amazing opportunity" to join the Trump administration.

"I am humbled and honored to play a role in helping transform the movement he has led into a real agenda of action and results," she said.
