Re: [MTC Global] [Weekend Big Debate- I] Women can't have it all

dear all

 it is immaterial weather it is nuclear family of joint family. it is not that difficult to balance work life. During 1994 when I worked at Badruka College of commerce, Hyderabad, my sons age 4 and 2 years. my class timings were morning 6.30 to 8.30am for CS students and 8.30 to 11.30 am for B.Com. Students. I could manage. And now my sons were settled in SAP Labs and GRL. Daughter of one of the school teacher Mrs Sarada from DPS stood 1st in intermediate final examination. Its all depend upon our interest towards any  work. Thank You

Dear Prof. Datta and Others,

Offspring of working mothers will have higher self-esteem and confidence than others. It may be difficult for a high profile wife to give time to their children. But it is possible. It requires husband also to share work at home. If you have open communication and shared responsibility, the children will have a happy time and good feeling towards their parents.

Nowadays, due to nuclear families, household works are not so much and not working wife will have problem in spending time and leads to feeling of not worthy, and they are busy with their long lasting glued to the T.V. Serials and neighborhood gossiping. But the real loss is for their children.

If it is a joint family, working mother can accommodate more time for work in the initial years of marriage also (family dynamics matters). Otherwise, she may have to take a break for a couple of years, once she gets a child.

Once, children are old enough, above 8 years, quality time matters than quantity. It can be given equally by a working mother. With technology in our hand, even communication and monitoring is not an issue.

Dear Esteemed MTCians,

Happy Friday Morning!!!

 

"PepsiCo's India-born CEO Indra Nooyi, counted among the world's most powerful women, acknowledged that it is difficult to maintain a work-life balance and women "Cannot have it all", saying she doubts if her daughters think she was a good mother".

 

There is a hue and cry over her recent this statement on women.

 

Request esteemed Member's views on the subject.

 

My Experience:

 

It is difficult for a woman to manage both the worlds , family and professional, without the support of the husband [ and others in case of joint family] . I had a challenging experience. When I got married my wife was in HP and later on moved to WebEx and Cisco. When we had a baby girl, I started counselling my wife to shift career as finding it difficult from being away from my native to manage the family. Being from lower-middle class family we never had a dream of becoming a millionaire but just to live a happy life which I follow even today.

 

My wife took break for 4 years. During this time she completed her MA [English- Gold Medalist], MBA and double B.Ed to fit into academic. Now , she is a principal in Lady Vailankanni International School , Bangalore and doing great. We put our daughter also [3.5 years old] in the same school. Even though work – pressure not reduced but under control. I even cook food for my family and do all other works at home [which generally a woman does] so that she gets time and performs well. Many times being a principal she has to slog in the school.  She has proved her credentials in academic also bringing up the school as one of the top destinations for students for quality education. I am happy I could help her through the transition stage. There is happiness and satisfaction at the end…………………….
