I would like to start with a question ‘who decides the expiry date of a woman?’ in most of the cases women are not allowed to follow her dream after marriage. This is either insisted by her own family members or by her husband and in-laws.
After marriage her husband ask her to take care of the family and to maintain the household chores. She is forced to give up her dreams. They do not understand that a woman is capable of maintaining both her career and her family. A woman is strong both physically and psychologically. When a woman refused to give up her career and choose career over family, many great people will her some great titles such as ‘selfish’, ‘not a perfect woman’ and many more.
Because of this, many women are taught from their childhood to give first priority to her family than her career. One third of the women choose their family over career without any compulsion. These women think that the titles like idle woman, idle mother, idle daughter as great acknowledgements for their work as a housewife, as a woman who give-up her dreams and who chose family over career. This will give satisfaction for that few women. But for others, it is a burden for them. They leave their dream because of the mental stress.
At last, I end up by saying that there is no specific time for a woman to give up her career. The decision must be her own decision. She has the ability to maintain the balance between work and life. There is no expiry date for a woman and know one has the right to decide her expiry date. Every woman should not give up her career, they should chase their dream until they are satisfied. There are many living role models, who gradually develop in the career as well as in maintain their family. Every woman should remember that there are no limits until and unless we decide.
