Re: Girls working after marriage?
safaa: Plenty of topics get repeated on this forum so it’s not a big deal. Nothing wrong with the question you posed.
As for your question itself…this is a individual matter b/t each couple. I’m married & have a full time job (no kids). My husband has no problem with me working. Since my husband is supportive, I don’t have any issues balancing my work/family roles. I receive plenty of help from my husband when it comes to household chores and other errands.
As for life after children…of course at that time things change. I know women who put their career on hold until the kids were 4/5 years old and then went back to work once they started school. But most women I know went back after their maternity leave and get child care help from other family members OR daycare OR personal nanny. Again…it all depends on what a couple decides works best for them.
Not sure if you’re already engaged but since you want to continue to work after marriage…I recommend you bring up this topic with a potential rishta and see how he feels.
Thank you paheli for a great insight!
I asked my cousin again she actually said once the kid is older she might just go back and her husband is also supportive!
