As a long time working woman, I have to agree. You cannot have it all. Something will suffer, whether it is how you interact with your family, quality time with your husband, house and yard care, or even time to take care of yourself. Unless you have a lot of money and can pay someone to do the things you do not have time to do or your relatives (usually your mother) take up your slack with the kids, you will not do it all and all will suffer including your job. Someone said it earlier, something has to give. Hats off to the working women who look like they are doing it all. Even Michelle Obama has her mother helping to raise the girls to give them a more normal family life. I think she is wise to do it and what I have read about Mrs. Obama’s mother, she sounds like she is grounded and has good commonsense.
