What you say is completely true

A lot of companies won't hire women a especially young women if they are going to have children

The way the modern world works in regards to the job market is incompatible with careers

Their is also the breakdown of the family unit and the support network that brings for example

My brothers and my cousins often stayed at my grandparents during the weekends

To give their patterns a break and to spend time together as a couple

For the UK we got socialized medicine, socialise education and the NHS which are paid by general taxation

So that makes things easier

Also different stages of life children have different care needs and it's normal that a woman will do the majority of the early childcare

Such as breastfeeding and men tend to be useless at the earliest stages

I suppose I'm that situation the man's priority is looking after his woman

For me I was told since the age of 12 to pursue a career and money and go to University

But for me and a lot of others we just end up in dead end customer service jobs or doing retraining

As I stated before I worked in journalism digital marketing and copywriter and the wages are really bad

Especially when working in cities

It's why for me I sent over my application to join the police, military and Royal mail to do an project management apprenticeship

It's starting from scratch again

It does most likely mean I won't be a father until my mid 30s unfortunately

Also I believe it's highly creative people who are ambitious pursuing status and money because that's what those people do

And it's sadding away that they won't be having children due to claiming status hierarchies

I do that my self to be honest I am very tempted to go into the financial services route

But that 12 months of training just to send over an application and then 5 years upon the job training and 100,000 dollars in in work education

It's all about priorities I believe

In my own family my brother and his wife would have had four children if they didn't decide to go to Disneyland instead

So it's also about the choices we make and are we doing that for ourselves or for status
