have you ever felt that women always need to choose between career and family? what would you do if your husband asked you to stay at home full time instead of working full time to take care of the kids?

i know what you mean. this is one of the reasons why the age gaps of my kids are huge because I had to go back to work.

my husband has to have a very good reason to ask me to become a stay at home mom.

i have a very understanding husband who let me have a career first and a family later. although i cant imagine him asking me to drop work because of the economy today, he would have to give me a pretty good reason to do so.

i think it is unfair for him to ask me since i worked hard for my career. i love my family but having a career is important not only for me but for us since the recession was really hard on our savings.

i work part time only but really love it. i would be crushed if he asked me to stop!

yes i do but it is only because we pressure ourselves. i married in my 30's and have two kids now. i wanted to plan and save for our future which is why i decided to marry a bit late.

if my husband were to make me stop working i would be severely disappointed in him because i work hard for my family and to fulfill my career.

this is the modern world not the medieval times... women can now have both!

i work part time too. but if i really need to stop then I would. family comes first for me. i would not resent him if it is what my family needs.

i would step down from being a career woman only if needed. it has to be a really big and good reason. i worked hard for my career and my family is important. while family always comes first, we all need a job in order to survive financially in this world.

i would choose family hands down. i only work part time but if they need me more then i would do it in a heart beat.

i worked hard for my career but if my family needs me then i would perhaps work from home. there are many jobs online. for me financial security is important but so is family and if i work from home then i would get these two.
