You just have to read this blog from wordpress from my favorite blogger bellejar. She has powerful language skills and she knows how to use them. This is for every mother who has felt guilty for having a job outside the home. For all the women who were called selfish for not spending every waking moment with their child.
The roles of women have changed and maybe more women would have children if they felt they could have it all. A child will learn how to spend time away from mother, and the child will appreciate a mother who makes her own money and has a life of her own.
I decided not to have children but for those of you who decide having a child is right for you, don't think you have to give up your career. More organizations are accepting of a woman needing time off to have their child, and many companies allow people to work from home. Anyone with a computer can work at their own kitchen table and still be productive. In fact there are statistics that say people that can work from home are happier and more productive.
And companies are seeing the wisdom of having back up employees that learn all the jobs at the company so people can have the schedules that they want. In fact many have "job sharing" in which they share the work load, can cover for you when you are sick or on vacation. That way the stress of going on vacation in the sence that some of you have to work weeks ahead to be able to take a vacation, and then work double time the week after to get caught up. You know who you are, you do know what I'm talking about. in fact some of you would say working without vacations is an option to avoid getting behind.
So sit back and enjoy this long essay, by bellejar in her own words.
