I'm 32, just got married. and I'm in a company where I am doing really well. My husband wants to have kids soon, but I'm afraid it will affect my chances of promotion in the future. What do I do?

Decide what is important for you in the next 5, 10, 20 years. What does it look like? And work backwards

I guess you are 34 this year, and wondering what sort of decision did you make back then? Hopefully you are promoted again :)

Hi, you and your husband should have a heart-to-heart talk on your priority in life?

I know someone focus on career but neglated his/her own health and family. My friend unfortunately passed away during his prime, and some retired alone despite very successful in their career.

Personally, I think the priority should be own health, family then career. Without a health body and mind, you can't take care of family and career? Without a stable and loving family, what is the point of having a successful career that you can't share the fruit?

At the end of day, I think happiness is more important than material wealth. ​​​

My cousin got married when he was 29 y/o. He and his wife decided to have kids at a later age as both were working in a company with really good prospects. now with a succesful career he & his wife is 36 y/o and still "trying". Nature waits for no one... sometimes when you want to have a kid after a successful career, you may not be that successful in "that" area. of coz, with medical advances this days you could try for a child through IVF which means all the $$ that ur hubby & u have saved up will be put to use through the process. there is no 100% guranteed with IVF & neither with natural methods. However, ask yourself if you really want children coz of "expectations" or because you really want 1 to complete your family. Always understand that a company (no matter how big) is about dollars & cents, once your value is gone so will you in the company.
