Any woman in any career has to think about when they have children, if they want to have children, and how it's going to affect their career.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Having children is one of the most passionate and involving bits of business in human life.
Having children is what a woman is born for, really.
Because our generation has waited so long to have babies, we feel we've 'discovered' something that women have been doing for thousands of years. I have no illusions that I will be in the same situation as the average working mother. I'm not trying to prove anything - I just want to have kids.
I think we are not yet well aware that, unfortunately, we have a short time to be moms. This is not to suggest that we should rush to have children or do it in a crazy way. I think that's the most important decision of a woman's life.
Having children really changes your priorities.
I highly recommend getting your career established first and then having children.
The women that inspire me are the ones who have careers and children; why would I want to limit myself? I've always wanted to have children, and I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all.
Women face enough pressures and challenges in a workplace that is still depressingly biased against a female's success. Add to that, the fact that the very thing many women I know find most rewarding (having kids) is now frowned upon.
I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.
All women should know how to take care of children. Most of them will have a husband some day.
