Utterly a worng idea
by Rohit on Mar 14, 2006 02:54 PM

I believe the autor has got it all wrong. Let me ask one thing," Why is it so important to have a career?" If you say self-confidence and indepenence, well then after 60 do both of them go for a six? Or is it that housewives lack them completely. You work so that you can earn for yourself and your family. If there is no family all the money earning will lose significance. Well, I don't include here the utterly selfish, self-centered and workaholic types. The problem is that we have attached too much importance to money, more than what is justified. And compromise is when you leave something higher for a lower thing. Sacrifice is its opposite. If you can't give your whole time to your baby, better not have them. It is easy to give instructions: don't listen to tantrum etc etc. But ask any parent how practical is it? Life doesn't works in the manner as pointed out in the last passage of the report. Life is lived in phases. If you think now is the time for you to work, then work. But when you decide to have a baby, please let your child be the only priority, your only work.
