I actually get tired of guys always expecting a woman to put their life on hold in order to take care of a kid. The guy can put his life on hold just like the woman can. Equality is a motherfucker. |

Bring it on, j/k Seriously though, I've met plenty of women who wished they could have had more time with raising children. That's not to say they don't like having career options but running around trying to be superwoman with a career and kids is way too much. As for me, I wouldn't mind if I could have retired by 30. I've been through enough corporate bullshit. And in fact I know quite a few men who are tired of the corporate ladder game. Edited by Snidely Whiplash, Aug 23 2012, 07:16 PM.

It was too much for me. I hadn't ever thought of myself as a "mom". After I had a child though... that maternal instinct kicked in and I was not willing to leave my child at daycare when he was just 6 weeks old. When I went back to work, I found that I was less able to understand his baby babble whereas when I was home full-time, I understood completely. Working all day in that corporate stress, then coming home to the additional job of being Mommy was very stressful. When I finally stopped that craziness (because I'm a workaholic-type), my husband told me he liked me more without the stressful job. When he came home, I was happy to see him, fairly refreshed and energetic even though I had been taking care of our child all day. But the job, and the baby, I was worn out. It's better to work part-time, and raise a family if you want the family to be your priority. Two full-time jobs are for two people.

I still say both parents could work the bare minimum and raise those kids then!!! But yes, I imagine all that is stressful. But most women who miss all that and want all that aren't all that career oriented. They like the stay a home.life. As for those other women who don't, not overrated. Retiring by 30 might not be so bad. I think I would be bored though. Its all about working a job you love I suppose. |

Of course, but both working "the bare minimum" is unrealistic, isn't it? Both may not be interested in "equal" parenting. I can't even imagine what that looks like. In life we specialize, we gravitate to those things we are good at and have passion for...child-rearing is no different. If my husband had been the one who bore the child, he may have had a hard time leaving him with strangers. We both "had" a baby per say, but he went back to work three days later with no quams about it. Whereas I stayed off work nearly a year because I felt passionate about being the primary caretaker of our kid. Off topic. This is what pisses me off when the clones start talking about women taking men's money after divorce. They disregard that the woman may have sacrificed mucho dinero by becoming primary caretaker. You can't get those earning years back, and it's impossible to make up that experience gap. So, the woman is not taking the mans money. She's splitting a small part of what her sacrifice allowed him to generate for the family. |

There's no such thing as 50/50 in marriage or relationships. Somebody will be doing more but if it works for the couple, fuck everybody else. |
