Re: Can you really prepare for parenthood?
while one can prepare mind and some other essential stuff for a baby, nothing else you would require as you will learn :)
to me there are two ways for working couples, either they delay to have families and first establish themselves well have career break have kids and raise them few years and then back to career or not ,
or they go for family first and then wife can go for career after few years after having family. it may be struggle for some but then you dotn hve to take break in the career and focus more on it later.
we gone for the second approach. while i kept working, my wife still have to start post marriage first job, so she is at home with kids stuff and preparing for other stuff like getting driving license, passing her medical licensing exams etc. by the time kids are near to pre school age, she will be able to get back to her career.
