[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was surprised when talking to a married woman in late 30 who expressed how she hasn’t had kids due to the intensity of her health care work that leaves little time to pump or keep up with motherhood duties. It sounded like she wants to be a mom but has allowed her career to dictate whether she will be a mom or not. I find it strange because I come from a culture where ppl would never let a career get in the way of having kids they want to have and [b]several women in my culture have jobs that are relentless. [/b] Do you know ppl who have decided against kids due to careers? Do they regret it later? Did the satisfaction form their career outweighed the loss of not having children (assuming they want children)?[/quote] There is a difference between "being a parent" and "procreating." If your job is truly "relentless" then you are not being a parent. [/quote]
