Should married women with children be discouraged from going out to work?

Today public opinion seems to be against women with children who work. The people think that a woman can work if she hasn't got children and that she must give up her job after the birth of her first child. This opinion is really frequent and particularly shared by men.

Nevertheless, a job can be as important for a woman as for a man. If a woman has reached her professional aim, it must be difficult for her to give it up. Why is this the woman who must chose between her job and to have a child?

Our century proves that men and women have the equal rights and we can notice that as many girls as boys attend universities and statistics demonstrate that females have the same, even better qualifications in some fields. Personally I think that women need to have professional aims to be and to keep a certain independence and to feel themselves useful. I'm not studying to give up my job later. I want to have children and that day I will share my job between my life and my family. In my opinion, it's possible to work a little bit - for instance only in the morning - and to bring up children. Finally, I think that people who say that this kind of women don't love their children have a false opinion because I'm sure that their children are the most important in their lives and I would be proud to be one of them!
