[quote=Anonymous][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] Please don't discourage your daughter from going to medical school because you want her to be a SAHM.[/quote] True but also don't push your daughters to go into medicine as education and training eats up their youth. Sense of superiority and lack of work-life balance robs them of happy marital lives or gets divorced. Obviously half of them do it all and do it well but overall its taxing even though lucrative and fulfilling and lots of doctors regret their choices but can't get out of rat race.[/quote]
