But then I look at little Sabine and think that I don't want to miss even one second of these early years with her. I had a long career before she came along and will have one again when she needs me a little less.
I do think some women can do both or have it all at the same time, but not me. I've always been horrible at multitasking. I can't do something well or to my satisfaction if I'm doing multiple things at one time.
"I don't want [women] ever to think they have to have it all. I think that's a revolting concept. It's so false! Sometimes you'll have some things, and sometimes you'll have other things. And you do not need it all at once; it's not good for you." --Emma Thompson

This is something that I struggle with EVERY FREAKING DAY. I know it's just impossible to have it all but I still kill myself trying to have it. :(
Me, too. I have to talk myself down every day...remind myself that I will get to work again some day...sigh.
Yep, it's a struggle. And I personally don't think women can have it all. We're not superwomen. So I chose my kids over career.
Being a working mom is hard. When I had my daughter I could only afford to take 1 month off and that was it. I would have loved to be a stay at home mom again. I stayed home with my son till he was 4 and it was awesome.
@Leslie, @atreyuamor, I love hearing different women's situations/choices...some choose, some have no choice...it lets me know that everyone is different or nothing is perfect and most of us are simply doing the best that we can.
