I read an article today (well, half of the article because it was more like a novel, but printed the rest of it to read tonight) titled: "Why Women Still Can't Have It All". Obviously as a career-driven woman/individual the title caught my eye, and as I started to read the first section I was captivated (although only enough to read the first half). The story is written by a very successful woman who gave up a great government position in DC for her family and the myth of a work-life balance. I think about my future as a mom and working individual a lot and usually the concept causes me stress. I watched the movie "How Does She Do it" and thought - yep, that is exactly how I am imagining it! Yikes!
But at the end of the day, I think the issue is bigger than mothers in the working world. Yes, that is its own issue - but in reality you can never "have it all" - so why would this situation be any different. I have strong opinions on the matter, but those are my own private opinions. The article is an interesting read with strong, differring, opinionated comments that follow. Worth posting - and reading if you have 15 minutes!
