There's nothing wrong if you ever choose not to give in on the"Society's Standard" of Norms of what a woman should be which is get married and bear Kids. Women today are very career oriented and there's a lot of career there than being a housewife. please don't get me wrong being a housewife i a tough job and kudos to them. but not all women are destined on that route and you know what its Okay ;)

Times are different now. Even when i'm married in the near future, i won't want to be a housewife as well. I'm not career minded, but i'm not a stay home mom too. I would only consider myself to be a housewife when i hit my 30s or even older. I'm still young to stay indoors, commit myself to the 4 walls in the house or my children. A lot has to give and take between a couple and decisions must be reached before marriage. Once that's agreed on, things are much simpler.

Oh my god, marriage isnt a career for a woman is part of life, we dont like all women think bout it. I wish to be more than a wife , because i want kids but im working hard to be sucessful, not just a mom. One day i will be sucessful woman and mommy. I dont want to choose i can work hard in both.

I do think that it's definitely possible for women to have both, if that's what they want. Sure, it's not easy to juggle both career and family life. But it is possible, in my opinion. I've seen women manage to have both.

Nice to see you started a discussion on this. A lot of women these days (mainly the older ones) still have that mindset where they think the only thing they can do is get married, have babies and take care of their family. There needs to be more awareness that men and women should have equal opportunities and that women can do exactly the same things men can. I believe that women shouldn't be the only ones taking care of a household, men should be taking part too and there has been a major change but there's clearly still people thinking those traditional thoughts, that men should be at work while women in the kitchen which is totally wrong!!
