the idea of leaving work for some initial years and then joining back sounds good. but is that only a theoretical concept... ever tried searching a job after long break....i have...and the men interviewing out there treat you, why at all are you back...better go back home you are not capable enough for the corpprate world.

managing both home and work is really very very difficult.. i worked as a IT professional and was earning more than my hubby in chennai.. now i resigned and i am happy to take care of my baby, but my hubby is forcing me to work again.. we could manage with the money he earns, but now i am forced to work.. unless the mentality of men change, it is really very difficult for ladies.. traveling and work alone will take more than 12 hrs a day..

hi , i have the same problem. i m a computer faculty amd i m enjoying it too. m doing this job as a passion but it has the bad effercts on my son as i m not being able to give him proper time. i stay in joint family and have to be in KITCHEN only once i come from work. then i thought of quitting the job bcaz i was getting migrane attcks bcaz of exertion. now i am happy bcaz i have only kitchen part to take care of and my son to take care of.i can balance and after reading the second article i feel i have taken a right decision. i had two choices either to make money or be with my son in his entering the teen age . i know both r not possible . i feel really good reading this article as it says a decision can be right or wrong as per your problems

I totally agree with the article. I think one can balance between work & home. I myself have working mom still I feel my childhood was best. I am a good, educated human being. My mother is a doctor. Now I am a working mom but my child is very much attached to me.

I do not agree with the article.Either you are a career woman or a homemaker.If you try to balance both in a cosmopolitan city of today's time, you are neither.You are only fooling yourself if you say you are giving quality time to your kids, b'coz after 10 - 12 hrs of work, WHAT time or quality time can you give to your kids? I totally agree with smartmom.

This is still a debatable issue.A balance can be maintained if working hours are fixed and enough help is available. But if working hours stretch and are very demanding , it becomes a nightmare, which affects the child and mother

i do not agree with the article. motherhood has to be experienced in totality to be a fulfilling experience.a child whose mother is a homemaker has a healthier attitude to life than one who is brought up by an ayah or is a latchkey child. quality time is a defination coined by working mothers to silence their guilty conscience. do they expect their children to fall sick, get hurt etc. only during the quality time? a mother's place at home and society is incomparable. 'MATRU DEVO BHAVA' was coined to emphasise the supreme importance of motherhood in our society. i willingly sacrificed my career to bring up my two kids and i have n ot regretted it even once in the last 15 years. when i see my children growing up happy, healthy,intelligent,well adjusted and responsible human beings my happiness is complete. touchwood.

yes priya i agree with u. the article does seem to be encouraging women to work. but it also says that although children dont lose that much when u work, u as a mother do lose out the important moments.. see the last para.

This article is totally focussing only on working.When you work you can make money ofcourse its true but you are missing all your child's development for eg.,crawling,sitting,feeding,etc.,etc.,nowhere you can get it back.once the child milestone development you miss forever you can't get it back but consider of money you can make money whenever you feel like after they are grownup. Child may expect lots and lots of affection,hugs,kisses from you but if you go to work they miss all those and they cannot ask for it

This article emphasises more on a woman to work than stay at home. i think in that way it is incomplete. pros and cons of both a working mother and stay at home mom should be discussed. nowadays domestic help is also not so easily available. so please give us more knowledge and info in detail. thx

Yes, I agree with everything that is given in the article. But to be able to do justice to work and family, it needs very high energy levels and demands lot of discipline.
