[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From intense careers. I'm in twenties and realize alot of my friends feel pressure from parents to consider childbearing when deciding on a career, even if they do not have children or a boyfriend. It leads to my friends not pursuing higher paying fields. For example, my friends in med school say their moms are worried about their careers and future marriages/ children if they pursue surgery. This makes them want to lean towards lesser paying, family friendly specialties... I don't think these parents would pressure their sons in the same way.[/quote] I know my response will unleash the wrath of DCUM, but yes I basically do try to discourage my daughter's from having intense careers. I tell them that they need to look at work life balance and try to pick careers where there is more of an ability to work from home. And before anyone asks, no if I had a son, I would not give him the same advice. [/quote]
