I am an over 60 female, who is reflecting on my life and what advice to give to my daughters.  I don't believe women can have the career and be a good mother.  Raising children you just have to be there for them all the time, because you can't schedule "OH you want to open up and talk now" with your children.  As a stay at home Mom, your children want you home when they arrive home from school.  They are not going to talk to you but they just need to know you are home.  So you be a stay at home Mom, and then if you want out of the marriage you have nothing to fall back on.  So you get a divorce and now you get a crappy job and your self worth falls in the toilet.  I am a confident  female and I couldn't go down this road.  I would love to hear others' thoughts.
