As for the last point, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but
all that stuff you were fed in the 70's and 80's about "balancing"
work and family and "having it all" was BS.

Maybe I have a distinct distrust of either-or statements, but I suggest that it's a matter of degree. Not many of us, male or female, can - or want - to be a super-achiever. If you don't want that level of success, then some balance between the two sets of goals is obtainable. True, you may have to postpone or delay one set of goals while following the other, or maybe change your tactics. But, really, it's just the difference between the dream and the reality. If you put abandon one set of goals entirely, then perhaps you need to ask how sincerely you wanted them in the first place.
