Can women have it all?

This is a tricky question to answer. It really depends on which side of the fence you are standing. Life is simpler for a women who doesn't have children or married to make a career decision. Her decisions will not affect her immediate family, meaning there's no husband or children to worry about.

If there's a job opportunity to move to another country, she doesn't have to think twice about it. It is easier for this woman to have a job that requires her to travel a lot, without having her family life being compromised.

The challenge is with married women with children, is having to balance their career and family life. A support system is imperative so that there is quality time with the family. This means having both partners taking responsibility of doing homework with the children, taking them to school and sport and nanny to help clean the house.If all the responsibility is for the woman to do then it becomes a challenge for her to progress in her career. She will always be exhausted.

Other women that face the same challenges are single parents. Whatever decisions that they make will always affect their children. This woman cannot just move to another country because of a career opportunity. She has many things to be consider. It is finding a place big enough for the family, finding a good school for the children, finding a house/apartment that is in a safe area. Unlike a single woman who could stay in a single bedroom apartment until she finds her feet. All these things have to be considered carefully as the children will have to leave an environment that they are familiar with.

For women to have it all, they need a good support system.
