Do I Have To Choose Between My Career And Family
Maybe you’re right at the crossroad when you need to choose one or the other.
And why do we have to choose at all?
Many people will theoretically clarify that it is possible to have both of them, but most of them will say that it is tough to match all obligations, especially today when we all fight for a better place and position. It is difficult for men to make a balance between marriage and work, but for women, it’s a bit harder.
Marriage isn’t terrifying (at least it shouldn’t be), and it should be a step in our life when we become more mature, more responsible and more tolerant. But if we plan marriage, children, family building, then we have to think ahead of time how much time will we have in pursuing our career.
Many women give up their jobs to entirely devote themselves to child upbringing. Some women, however, choose their careers and don’t want to tie. Some SUCCEED IN BOTH.
I always laugh at the story when my friend asked for a neighbor:
“How is it that your children are always clean, you look so fantastic, you have a flat, and you’re awesome at your job?”
” I don’t know. I have never compared myself to somebody else. It’s not the same for you?”
What’s the point?
A woman who takes care of her job and is focused on herself and her family is a hero to me.
But we cannot just nod and fix everything.
While I am writing this, there are scattered toys around me, the dryer has long ended its work, and the clothes are still in it, and I’m thinking about how I’m going to have my presentation in front of 200 people at the firm next week.
I cannot do everything, but people who love me say that I don’t have to.
And that’s the point.
The real person in your life will never set a choice in front of you: career or family.
He will support you in all your intentions, affirm that you will be as good as possible and promise that you will succeed in this CHALLENGE.
And believe me, you will.
It’s nothing terrible that your hair isn’t always perfect and that your window glass is inked with baby crayons. THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND.
If you love your job – don’t abandon it.
Your partner and friends will understand.
Would you just leave your loved one because you didn’t get to have the dinner you wanted? Surely you wouldn’t.
So look at other things around you.
I can not tell you it will be great, and you will have perfection at work and home, but I cannot tell you that you won’t.
What if you’re just a super-independent woman who can do anything?
You cannot know until you try. It’s never too late for progress or family building. You will not always have a great organization, but you will have people who care and seem to have a superpower to balance everything.
