[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dads don't have periods, pregnancy, labor, postpartum, breastfeeding, perimenopause, menopause etc etc. Biology limits our lives. [/quote]

Those things don’t limit everyone’s life[/quote]

And like, hey, I pumped breastmilk, then went a did an oral argument, which I won. Having breasts and a baby did not, in fact, mean I couldn't be a lawyer.[/quote]

Can be if you can hire a nanny or DH's job is flexible.[/quote]

I didn't have a nanny.  I did have in building day care and even could go down and nurse my son instead of pumping (it actually took less time).  My employer touted that daycare, it let me be a lawyer and a mom and even get to nurse my baby most days. All while exceeding my required numbers. Society can build structures to help moms succeed.[/quote]
+1 and quite frankly, for some women, being a mother/wife and not having anything else challenging outside of that makes them miserable.  Not all women are happy with just being a mom/wife.  If she can have a career that she enjoys and be a wife/mother, why not?  Sure, there are challenges, but if you have a supportive spouse, it can work.  Sounds like OP's bf wouldn't be a supportive spouse.  I bet he would expect her to be supportive of his career, though.  [/quote]
