>I don't want children, my wife has decided that she must try to have one.
It's awkward to answer without knowing your name, but ..
I don't see a solution to your problem. The homelife of the child
should be one where it's wanted (by both parents, or by one, if a
single parent). If you don't like children, then please don't have
any.
>My question here is, how do you reconcile having children with
>pursuing goals that can't be accomplished in a normal lifespan to
>begin with?
You select the most important goals and you make time for the goals
most important to you. For women with time-consuming careers it's
complicated (obviously).
