I'm thankful to have a husband who loves to cook, and we pay for cleaning and lawn services. It's hard to believe how little has changed in 10 years, and how many women still do everything around the house and work long hours. Any superwomen in the group who can do it all, and how do you do it?

I’m with you on this one! My husband and I share the load, and hiring services has been a game-changer. I honestly don’t know how women do it all without burning out!

I live alone and do everything myself. Well, there's no lawn to deal with, but I do the cleaning and laundry and cooking. It's not that big a deal really. I think most people make too much out of what they do, they make the simplest chores sound like training for the Olympics or something.

I am my own Superwoman if that counts. I work hard to enjoy a good support system of a cleaning lady (1×month) for deep cleaning since I pick up daily and clean on the regular; have services Like lawn care, yber, lyft to handle all other needs.

And I would like to Thank Me for it all. I put myself through university and earned my M.B.A. working multiple jobs and going to school. My parent weren't rich, lower middle class so if we wanted it, we had to go earn it ourselves. I travel internationally 3x a year and take weekend trips as much as I want.

This didn't happen overnight, I started enjoying the lifestyle I have now in my late 40s.

This is called resilience, perseverance and down right discipline.

Superwoman Unite!

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
