Motherhood or career, why can’t women have the best of both worlds?

Motherhood or career, why can’t women have the best of both worlds?

People need to understand that there is a principle of priorities. In her early twenties, a woman primarily fights for her career. Marriage. Babies. Start a family. There is no such thing on stage. The mid-twenties are above all in professional life. and he's at the peak of his career. You can start thinking about getting married. In her late twenties, when her graduate school is over and her career is fairly established, she may marry and change her priorities to her marriage and her husband. In his 30s or?early 30s, he focuses on raising a family. She is established, earning money and independent! She is mature enough to handle a newborn.?

Not so long ago, women had to rely primarily on men?to live and?care for themselves and the baby. The problem is that if something were to happen to the man, women would find it harder?to take care of themselves and their babies because they would be living in worse conditions. with a lot of struggle. A woman who can make a decent career can support herself and her children. She is not dependent on another person and can also leave a relationship that is unhealthy or even dangerous for her or her children. Being tied to someone who doesn't have the means to rebuild is worse than being tied to the ability to start over. A woman with a decent career and education?is also someone who can model and teach more to her children. Someone who finds their way in life and is financially and business savvy can teach their children these valuable skills. it means. One might ask, what about the work-life balance? Building a decent career often requires extra effort and sacrifice. While there is some truth to this, it is also not an absolute truth. Yes, this might be true that it becomes pressurizing to women to handle all of this work at one, but at the end the lady is satisfied that she can provide her child with all shelter and necessities if required, no one should depend on someone else for their needs.


Of course, career and motherhood can?go hand in hand. You don't have to compromise on a career to choose motherhood or motherhood to choose a career. There are many examples?around us. But to choose both, we need to be more active, positive and motivated. Be patient and make sure?you have some “me time” each day to unwind while also exploring motherhood and career. Can you live without your job, be financially dependent on others, and will you?have fewer opportunities to develop and interact? with new people that can cause you a lot of frustration and depression in the long run. On the other hand, if you are independent and confident, your baby will learn from you.

No, motherhood doesn't make anyone a real woman. All women are real women regardless of their ability/desire/history to bear and raise children. Women have the full rights to decide what is best for them.

Rajesh, In order to lead a fulfilling life, we must be self-sufficient, and I wholeheartedly concur with your statement that "no one should depend on someone else for their necessities".
