So, not too long ago my honey bun and I were talking and he asked would I be a stay at home wife/mom? I said No because I am furthering my education for a reason and I need to have my Own Career not to just rely on yours...however I did think about things such a pregnancy, will I be able to just simply go after 3-6 months? As an aspiring Psychologist, I know the importance of the bond for attachment between mother and child so would I really be able to just leave my child that easy?
I dont judge any woman who refers to stay at home instead of work especially if she is in a good financial situation with her spouse and she wants to tend to the children...but I know I just wouldnt be complete with out working in my field or towards my goal..what do u think?

Great question...
...I've always felt like I wasn't meant to be a stay at home wife, simply because I think it would bore me. Not only that, but considering the fact that I want to advance my education, and not depend on my husband's finances, I wouldn't be happy staying at home. I think as women, we're blessed to be able to multi-task, and part of that is being able to be a mother, a wife, and have a career.
To balance this, I plan on setting limits between my home life and my work life...no calls and/or work issues after 5 p.m., and if possible, the weekends to myself. I had the chance to talk to the executive director of Emory Healthcare Marketing, and that is how she balances it, and that's something I would like to do as well.
I completely agree gurlie! I have come to far to just at home..I just would feel complete
All the women in my family worked except for my grandmother.
My grandmother is in a terrible marriage but she says she has to stay. I dont ever want to be in that situation. Ever! My mom left my father. She made 3X as much as he did. It's a life lesson for me. I need to have my own.
I definitely understand mama, u do what u have to do :D
