To some women having it all is the white picket fence and 2.5, or whatever it is, kids. A husband home by 6 and dinner waiting on the table. Very Norman Rockwell.

Many women are career driven so roles interchange, he cooks, may even stay home. And from what I’ve watched and read a lot of men are very happy with that but some are definitely not.

We have homesteading families who having it all means they can provide as much as possible for themselves by themselves.

And the kind like I grew up in where we didn’t consider ourselves to have it all. Both parents worked so that meant daycare for me. I hated it and truly believe it played into the anxiety I carry to this day.

Of course, none of these are right or wrong. Different families require different things. But can we have it all? Do our responsibilities and obligations keep us from attaining the things that we long for?

In this blogger’s opinion long gone are the days where simplicity was simple. Options and choices and decisions are everywhere for us to make or choose. And is it really easy to attain what it is that you actually want or the hoops that you have to jump through unreasonable?

We say we want choices, but do we really? Does it complicate things more I mean, sure, I don’t really want someone making my decisions for me, but fewer choices wouldn’t make me upset, that’s for sure.

To me, right now, having it all is being able to be home and work on this blog between housework. I like it like this.
