I think it can be hard for women... my Mum ran her own business when we were younger.. and I remember missing her (even though she gave up until we were school going age)... If I ever do have kids I would like to continue working... but work would take second place and my priority would be my family life

Yeah I think they can..
Mind you .. I only work about 30-35hrs a week now.. I used to work A LOT more when I had my mum and my husband still around.
But my hours (mostly) fit around my children's schooling.. so that I'm always here when they leave for school.. and I'm always here when they get home. (and since last summer.. I no longer work weekends either)..
That way ... they don't miss out.. and I have time to stay on top of the usually housey things too.

It certainly is hard to balance all those things...it can be done...but not without putting more effort into some things and not others...that's the hard part...sometimes you feel really torn...I know I did when my kids were small....

Thats how I try to do it.
When I was a kid.. my parents both had their own businesses.. They worked soooooooo hard to get what they have now.. (well.. my dad.. my mum died a few years ago) But growing up I remember a huuuuge chunk of years where my sister and I would be with sitters.. or at sitters houses. I hated that.
I can see (now) WHY my parents did it.. and it wasn't for 'pleasure' it wasn't for them to go out and about.. it was to work. But still.

Yep.. that's how I see it too.. I love my job.. but it IS only a job. There will always be jobs.. but you only get one family.. and it's absolutely true what people say about time flying.. a few blinks and they have grown up and gone..
then you have all the time in the world to work more hours.

Thats the thing isn't it?.. the fact is that most of us will HAVE to work.. saddly... the question is really one of priority I guess.. money is important, but its not more important than family... there are women who barely see their children at all.. in that they work 12 hour days in the City.. I have never really seen the point of that JMO

i do think that women have moor of a maternal instin tho, when it comes dow to lookin after kids,
ive been a single parent of 3 now for 2 years but when the wife first left i did find it hard,
im used to it now tho and have a routine, but i think that women can adapt a lot quiker than men in that area

Some argue that women can not mix between work and family and that she can not be successful at both. Yet, women have proved to be successful at both, under certain circumstances, in my point of view.

Oh I do find it hard sometimes Chris.. back then at the start.. and still now sometimes.. (about 5yrs later)..
It's never easy any time. Being a parent can be.. blimmin hard work.. to get a balance right at least.

most women can work and do anythin a man can do, and then come home to look after there kids, but most men would find lookin after kids a 24 hour job all on its own hahaha
i know this becouse ive done it, doin it,like i said took me a little while to get in to a routine cus lookin after kids isnt as easy as what u think and most of my mates have said they would rather go to work than to stay at home lookin after the kids lol

Yeah I agree.. I think they can be successful at both as long as the balance for the children and the job is right. I think if you put too much into work.. the kids will suffer.. and vice versa. I do think I have found a fairly good balance.. to be (quite) good at both.. but I still say its not easy.

That is, every woman can create the balance the way she needs and her family may help her in that context, thus eliminating the reasons for failure. The multiple roles that are played in everyday life can be easily done and made, with some assistance coming from outside.
