MVI am fortunate enough to work part-time and still earn a good wage. This works for me as I love my career and my family and this allows me to have a bit of both. I get to spend quality time with my husband and child, but I still get to keep myself involved in my career which is critical to both me and my husband. It is not perfect but for us the benefits outweigh the downsides. I do#7&821n;t think women (or men) can have it all, so families need to consider what is most important for them and try their best to build a life that meets that.
