do you mean a mother with ambitions for herself, or a mother with ambitions for her kids?

I don't know. I want to delete this thread.

I just think it's impossible to be a great mother, and have a great career.

Unless you work from home.

And you have a split personality.

I read somewhere a few years ago that you have to consider success as juggling. Let's say that you juggle with three balls: carreer, parenting and long term love relationship. You can only succeed with two of them, since one is always "in the air", i.e unstable.

Trying to be perfectly successfull everywhere(awesome wife, superpowerful worker, great mother), you'll always neglect one of those "balls". One would then be more inclined to divorce, tensed relashionship with kids, burnout and other health issues due to stress.

I thought it made sense at that moment.

i resent the hell out of women who SAY they want to have a career and be all ambitious about it, and they have kids, and then demand that they be given a different set of expectations because they have kids. and they get all haughty about it. like its my fault they reproduced.

yeah i hate this too. i also hate parents who think that by breeding they are "contributing to society". NO. YOU ARE FUCKING NOT. TAKE A LOOK AROUND - DOES THIS PLACE NOT LOOK OVER-POPULATED ENOUGH TO YOU?! WE ARE ABOUT TO HAVE A FUCKING RECESSION BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE TO FEED.

okay. sorry.

anyway kasmim i think you are pretty fucking stupid. you should probably have a little sit down and think things out before you make such stupid threads.
