Can Women Have it All? A response to class discussion

I say if you want to have children, if you want to get married, don't put that off because that sounds to me like a pretty important decision. Would you put it on par with your career? If you do, why wouldn't you go after it with equal fervor?

These are the words of Mika Brzezinski, co-host of "Morning Joe" on MSNBC. I do not watch the show but heard her speak about her new book, All Things at Once, on NPR’s “Tell me More.” In this interview she discusses the trials and triumphs of being a working mother. She was fired, had a scary incident with her very young daughter, worked nights, started all over and is in a good place through it all. The transcript can be read or audio heard here http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122486158.

As a working woman, working mother, or stay at home mom, you have to find what works best for you and your family. You may not have it all but you will have all that matters.
