Re: Career Women v. Stay-At-Home-Wives
TNW : Success means different things in different fields. And its meaning differs for each person. For some its getting a reward. For some its making a lot of money. For some its just getting to do something cool each day without major disasters. For some its being able to balance things. For some its a little bit of everything. More meanings exist, I'm sure. These are just a few.
So you can say some women are successful, and THOSE are the ones that tend to keep family behind, and that the others who don't - those just barely manage.
I don't think its fair to make that type of trend since each person is different, and their circumstances are different.
All I'm saying is that its false to assume that working women
- do not pay attention to family or put family as 2nd priority
- have to choose between work and family
- are competetive and are willing to risk their family to gain "success", whatever meaning of success you're using I dunno.
- tend not to keep their house clean
- tend to need to hire maids
- tend to need to hire nanny's to take care of their kids.
- tend not to be there emotionally for their husbands,
etc etc.
These are all assumptions, and I just don't see that happening with nearly all the working women I've met. I think working women are really demonized in our culture, and I think stay-at-home moms are seen as more virtuous and religious. I have problems with these stereotypes since they're unfounded.
Like ahmadjee said, what happened to middleground?
Re: Career Women v. Stay-At-Home-Wives
Hey PC,
"success" to me means, "everything in its' place". no rocket science. when everything is in its' place, all is smooth. the damage is caused when things are managed poorly. maybe, i have only seen career moms/wives handling things with immaturity making them unfair and making others suffer for their immaturity. maybe this is what makes me think it is very difficult, if not impoossible to be fair with both the jobs at a time, that is; being fair with your family/kids and being fair with your job.
if you have met women who have managed to be fair and have managed to keep everything in its' place, have solved problems and not given rise to new problems and complicate situations at work and relationships with their loved ones in an effort to "feel good" about themselves then convey my praises to those women you know. id love to meet one myself too one day.
