The needs of babies and toddlers were constant and drained the life out my sense of self and my family's relationship with each other.
I am not afraid to say my relationship with my man is important, even vital, to who I am as a person.
We have to unclutter our brains from worries that maybe people don't like us. Women tend to worry about popularity it doesn't matter if they like you. They need to respect you. They need to show that respect for you in your pay check. And that needs to be okay.
Women face enough pressures and challenges in a workplace that is still depressingly biased against a female's success. Add to that, the fact that the very thing many women I know find most rewarding (having kids) is now frowned upon.
