What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women just weren't made to bear children to give them away.
I feel like woman was brought to this world to have family and kids.
Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
We live in an age of generational turmoil. Baby-boom parents are accused of clinging on to jobs and houses which they should be freeing up for their children. Twentysomethings who can't afford to leave home and can't get jobs are attacked as aimless and immature.
A lot of middle-aged women are children still trying to find their way.
Women now have to put so much attention into their careers, and not many families can pull off a single income.
When I was a young boy, very young boy, mothers didn't work. Women were home, they took care of the house, they washed the dishes and took care of the children. That's what they did, and that's what my mother did.
The women's movement hit my neighborhood like a freight train. Everybody got divorced. You wonder what would have happened to women if the suburbs hadn't been built.
The previous generation paved the way for my generation to gallop unheeded into jobs previously reserved for men.
It's a notion that career-oriented women often neglect their families. But we should cut them some flak; these women are doing everything for the sake of family so that it progresses. I believe when kids see their mothers working hard, they take up responsibilities at home and are far more well-turned out than other children.
