Yet in real life every working mom I know is a haggard mess, waking up early, commuting and spending all day dealing with office BS instead of remaining connected with family/kids. These are the same women who are medicating (pills, alcohol, etc.) and who rarely see their husband and kids. In the real world, often these are the folks who wind up divorced. And, divorce for a working woman ain't a cake-walk. Let's at least be real here ladies. Don't worry, the PC police aren't watching.
Speak for yourself. This working woman is extremely organized and a great multi tasker. I work when kids are in school, and pick them up when they are finished. I fix dinner every night, take them to sports, and help with homework. I assure you that I am not popping any pills, except Claritin. My marriage is solid because I have a husband who appreciates me as a wife and mother. I do outsource cleaning, but who doesn't? I dress immaculately, exercise in the morning, and am the same size and shape as before marriage and kids...so no, I do not look haggard.
I am sorry that you can not handle a career and kids, but some of us can.
