why don't career women want kids? also, I'd like a large family (example, 7 kids), how many women r ok w that

Answer 1

7 children is fine as long as YOU can support them and give them the proper education.

Answer 2

It's a pretty broad statement to say that career women don't want kids. But you're right, there's a larger population of marriageless - childless women out there. It's the trend I suppose. But it's not the intire case. I know from my own experience of having a career, and about to be married, that I would love to have a big family. The reality now, is that it takes two full time incomes for most small families to make ends meet, let alone one income for a large family. The best way to have a large family in my opinion, is to find someone with similar values and then make enough money so that she'd feel secure and safe staying at home.The ironic thing is, is that a lot of men are changing too. My finace wants a rather small family compared to what I would prefer - but it really is all about compromise.

Good luck

Answer 3

Some career women are wired in a different way to family orientated women its not a bad thing it just is, some women thrive on perhaps winning a court case (lawyer), saving a life (Dr), running for office (condalezza Rice), their are some career women who do want kids but have opted to build on their career build up security etc and save enough to have kids after all kids take up an enormous amount of ones time not to mention it all adds up in the end.
I would have loved to have a big faimily however I wanted to see the world be a free spirit, I started late with having my own children, I went through complications with both so decided to stopped at 2..... had I not had complications I would have tried for atleast 2 to 3 more..... cost for me was not an issue.

Answer 4

Your idea of 7 children is great, have 1 first then decide if you can do it again another 6 times, also look for a rich man, 7 children are very expensive! As for career women not wanting children I think some of them do, they maybe wait too long and it's too late, so rather than admit it, the say they don't want them. There are women who genuinely don't have a desire to have children - in exactly the same way you want 7 - it's personal choice and preference.

Answer 5

Some women want both (I work 2 jobs and have 2 kids, but I work because my husband needs my income - we can't make it on his income alone or we would live below the Federal Poverty level).

Here is my question to you if you want to marry a career woman who will work when you have kids. If you have 7 kids, the kids will be sick and have appointments that will need to be done during working hours. Are you willing to share in those duties, including staying up at night and helping with the housework, homework, discipline, taking kids to activities and to medical appointments. Also, if they get sick, will you be willing to miss work to care for your kids?

Those are some of the reasons why women don't want a large family if both couples work.

It's the toughest challenge when your kids are sick and you have an ultra-important deadline at work that cannot be missed. Either way, you make a sacrifice.

Answer 6

All of us are different. Some people are wired to love children; others not. Not good, not bad. The worst are those who follow someone Else's plan for them and don't want children, but do to please others. Or don't have children because a spouse doesn't want them, and then regrets it later in life. If you want a large family, great, if you marry someone with the same goals and can afford them. No welfare, please. They will be your responsibility, not mine!
How many children are OK with that...? I have no magic ball, but I hope you are not wanting a birth factory for having the 7 kids and not respecting how many she can produce for you. What if you marry and she has 4 miscarriages. Is the marriage over? Have the kids you and she agree on and can afford. Bottom line. And whoops, how many you can love!! Most important of all.

Answer 7

If you want a family that large you will need to be able to afford it. You cannot and should not expect any woman to care for 7 children by herself. Also if you can find a woman who isn't working or doesn't have an interest in a career and you can support her and the 7 kids, great.
Any woman who has a career will not be enthused about seven kids and neither will her employer.

Answer 8

i'm sure you'll find a lot of women would love to have large families.. but in its just so expensive!
Having a large family pretty much means you have to start during your 20's.
in today's age women are marrying later in life, and are working as soon as they are able. Which means nearly all women are career women purely because they have to be financially comfortable and independant.
If you fall in love with the right woman and tell her you'd like a large family all you can do is hope for the best.
good luck.

Answer 9

Career women don't want kids because kids get in the way of careers. And no, 7 kids is absolutely not acceptable. Think about how selfish that would be to them and other people.

Answer 10

You can't do well by children if your priority is a career. If you meet someone who wants to be a stay at home mom, then certainly try for a large family. Don't have a bunch of kids like that and expect the mom to help pay bills also, it's unfair to her and a great dis service to the kids.

Answer 11

Career women don't want kids because they don't have time for them. I am ok with people having as many kids as they want. I have 4 and put my career on hold till they are all in school.
