I can't imagine a woman with either no husband or a working husband being able to give enough to the job and still be able to raise her kids. It's just the way it is. Do another job... do another job in the same area of work... go back to it when the kids are older. I'm not suggesting women should stay at home, only that there are some jobs that aren't suitable when you have a young family unless you have a husband willing to support you 100%. And in my experience, that isn't always the case.
