Romance Or Career? by PepERSprAY: 11:33pm On Oct 24, 2008
Women pull doubles in an effort to rise in their career and also have a successful marriage. It is easier for a married man to become the president of his company than a woman. The few women that made it on top mostly are in the political fields. while age is threatening a woman's reproductive ability, her eggs are depleting every month and she still needs to put in all her efforts in her career in order to break the glass ceiling. In some careers like modeling or acting, child bearing may crash your career or may not because of body changes. It's most difficult for women in corporate America because of the incessant maternity leaves and all that.

Ladies:

In a competitive world where some women are ready to give up everything including child bearing to have a successful career. what is your take as a woman if your husband threatens divorce if you don't slow down on the career thing and make babies? Will you shun him and the marriage and focus on your career or will you risk your career and listen to him bearing in mind that he may step or die after you jeopardize your career and make babies for him?. I know you can still do both simultaneously but your chances usually reduce to 10% when you try multitasking.


Guys,
Will you give her a chance to build her career if child bearing will stand in her way until she's about 38-40 or will you demand she make the babies and talk about career later?. What advise will you give your sister as a man in similar predicament?

Forget that story bro. Women have made babies even at 60 and all this opata about down syndrome and autism is caused by something else and not an old egg.

Your career is the major financier off your independence and the husband you are hoping on may step and leave you with those kids at the dying minute. What will you do? Go out and start afresh with 4 kids trailing behind you?

What guarantee will your wife have that will enable her give up her career on the premise that you'll always be there?. Statistics has shown that such an arrangement is a recipe for cheating on the man's side. What can she do?. Hannibus, you are supporting this move because it will give freedom to do whatever you want with those Peckham floozies.

Our mothers were working women Yet they had time for us,they cooked soup,pound foo-foo and still wore their suits to work the next day.If you think your career comes first,don't get married,If you think you family can survive without your having to work,stay at home and but if you are wise,devise a way to manage the two.

How many of our mothers that simultaneously managed career and family are vice presidents or presidents of a cooperation?. How many sarah palin's do we have out there?. Go to wall street and count the number of high profile women there and tell me how many of them managed career and family together. Do you think Oprah would have been that successful if she was married?
