Hi, I enjoy working. I like to face new challeges and like to improve professionally. That was my goal and achievement when I was a working woman before marriage. But now I am married and had to look after my family. Committments start to increase after marriage. We need to take care of our home more than anything. Hence I had to choose between work and home. I choose home and hence statying at home and taking care of the works at home. It is a very big responsibilty to run a family. I am just wondering how life has changed in a very short time. Now I am learning to enjoy the new roles and responsibilites. Staying at home and taking care of the house hold work and managing the family is a great task. I am loving it and trying to be good at it. How about you? do you like to face challeges at office or take important responsibilities at home or both?

I believe that woman should do job whatever which job she does.Maybe you must take care of your family as possible as you can ,but you don't need give up the thing that you like to do .And you work ,earn money can also increase your profile for your family .As a women we all think have responsibilty for our own family ,that's right .And a family are compared by two parts at least that is wife and husband ,so not just the wife but also the husband should share the housework ,he also plays a very important roles.Now i suggest that you could find a job which you don't spend too much time ,and then the half time you can spend in your family .So that's what i'll do !

Hello, Thank you so much for your views an suggestions. I agree to your point that responsibility should be shared among husband and wife. But when we think that, we would spend as much time as possible with the family to improve it, I think it does not hold true practically. Just assume something like a child needs extra care with his studies and a working mom is helping him out. And every day she spends whatever time available with him. But still, the child needs more care and attention and time to be improvised to the mark. So does the mother, the working women leave the child saying that I have spent as much time as I can or does she fight back her work and find more time to take care of the child's well being, studies etc.... Thanks for your thoughts and happy myLotting.
