[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks. I think I just worry because I didn't work for so long, and the women they know who do work (aunts, friends, neighbors) all appear to have this great balance - I worry they have a unrealistically rosy picture of motherhood, that's all. Like, can doctors even take a few years off to SAH, or is that impossible? (Just an example)[/quote] Why don’t you tell them the truth? They will face very hard decisions, one of which being how to balance career and motherhood. Even if they may want to prioritize motherhood, they may not be able to do so. They may prioritize career, that’s fine, too. In any event, it all boils down to having a great partner with whom they can discuss these decision points and make joint decisions. And also tell them that even if they prioritize career, they still can be great moms. To me, it is as simple as that. [/quote]
