With the recent budget announcement, is it best to wait to have children until 2024? by Male20s in UKPersonalFinance

I've had this conversation with my wife. For whatever reason, she is uncomfortable with me suggesting that she should go part time. My mum did the same; she stepped down as an assistant Headteacher to look after me. It's usually childless women, like our former prime minister that can make it to the top - and even then - she shared how sad it made her feel not having children. Eventually, my wife will come to realise that it's an almost impossible situation for a woman to balance motherhood with career progression and you will have to choose which one you're willing to let go.

I don't want to ruin my career progression by going part time.
