it all, and others who don’t. That’s understandable.
In the 1940’s and ‘50’s, career choices for women were quite limited – usually to being a nurse, teacher, secretary, waitress, etc. – most positions of “service”. (Note there were some exceptions as some women dared to be different.) In the 1960’s more women began choosing professional careers, like doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. However, those women, who wanted families, accepted that this would be a lot to tackle. In response, some men/husbands have been more helpful and supportive to their wives – sharing more of the home responsibilities.
Another observation is that, though there have been a lot of inventions to help women (washing machines, clothes dryers, dishwashers, hair blowers, etc.), behind the conveniences the inventions also provided women with a little more time to do – “even more”!
For any woman who preferred the “housewife” role, other women might question why! So a housewife could find herself defending “her choice”. On the other hand, today most women HAVE to work to afford their living arrangements/styles.
With all this in mind, a question remains: “What do women want
to do?” Obviously, all women are different. There is no one answer for all women. Women are encouraged to take the time to list their priorities and determine if these can be met with the time they have? Life Coaches and counselors state that we don’t put up boundaries to make others aware of when they are asking too much from each other. Is it possible to have a “balanced life?” Or is there such a thing?
More women should be encouraged to evaluate where they spend their time and to allow more time to “take care of ourselves”. Be honest with yourself as well as be realistic. What do you want your life to look like?
