[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot be a good mother and have a career. Sounds like you both have different priorities and it will never work. [/quote]

YOU can't but I can. [/quote]

I'm a lawyer and a mom, my coworkers are mostly lawyers and parents.  My kid's doing great at school, I manage my schedule so we spend lots of time together.  You can manage to do these things and anyone who claims it's impossible has an agenda.[/quote]

I don’t know, pp.  
I’m a doctor and a mom, but I have a job, not the big career I thought I would.  I couldn’t have a career and be a good primary caretaker to my kids.

My dentist only works from 9-2 Monday through Thursday so she can be there for her school aged kids. I always thought that was a pretty good schedule![/quote]

IME, this is the worst kind of schedule to have with a husband who wants to have traditional gender roles.  
You will end up doing all of the things that a SAHM does and having a job on the side.  Plus these are the hours everyone else wants to work, so you are fighting for space.
If you’ve fallen in love and married a man who expects you to do all of the chores and kid stuff, then you should either just be a SAHM or work a schedule that forces him to be alone with the kids, leave work on time, feed them dinner, know when their activities, etc.  at least a few hours a week.
