Can you Have It All?
The dilemma of Modern Womanhood
I’ve been on a bit of an unintentional hiatus for the last three and a half months. It’s not been for lack of options to write about. For the last 5 and a half months my husband has had daily migraines. And that has put some very real stress on my life.
Working full time, taking care of the household needs (groceries, cleaning, cooking, etc) I’ve been swamped.
While facing this medical emergency and my own troubles at work I have begun to wonder how women trying to ‘have it all’ do it.
Full disclosure, I don’t have children, just three spoiled cats.
And I have been so grateful for that fact because I have no idea how I could have been a “good” mother to a child this past fall on just my income with a completely incapacitated husband.
So can women really have it all? The truth is they never could.
Friedan’s quote has been split in half and to the detriment of modern women. Because the truth is we can’t have it all.
