I think the fact that you have worked and done a PhD whilst having kids is really admirable and maybe we should recognise this rather than all giving ourselves a hard time for not being 'successful' enough. It might be possible to have it all, just not all at the same time!Lynne Forrestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955304210599373230.post-73033896337989176422012-03-08T21:09:12.079+00:002012-03-08T21:09:12.079+00:00Great piece Lynn and very relevant to many of us i...Great piece Lynn and very relevant to many of us in the IHS. Thank you for posting it. As for me, I was hoping to finish the PhD before reaching the fourth decade of age but that proved to be wishful thinking. I just had too many life events to make this possible. I hope to see soon the light at the end of what has been a very long dark tunnel. I am writing up now but feel like writing a historical piece, a life journey and not only an academic thesis!Balsam Ahmadhttp://www.ncl.ac.uk/ihs/people/profile/balsam.ahmadnoreply@blogger.com
