Women have been sold a lie, you can't have it all: After Paloma Faith said raising children is like being a 'full-time CEO', mothers share brutal reality of why juggling careers and family is impossible Mothers from the UK have chatted to FEMAIL about Paloma Faith's remarks READ MORE: 'I don't believe women can have it all': Paloma Faith claims men fail to use their 'initiative' when it comes to parenting By Jessica Green For Mailonline Published: 03:04 EDT, 19 June 2024 | Updated: 03:04 EDT, 19 June 2024 e-mail View comments Women can't 'have it all' despite being 'given the idea' that they can work and have their independence while raising children, Paloma Faith has declared. The British singing sensation, 42, split from husband Leyman Lahcine after 10 years in 2022 and has been struggling to balance co-parenting their two daughters, aged seven and three, with her music career. She told Radio Times : 'I feel a bit disgruntled about society's expectation on women, because we were given this idea that you could work and have your own money and independence while raising children.
'What we've ended up with is far too much responsibility, and I think a lot of women are burning out.' Indeed, Paloma is not the only woman feeling this way ; speaking to FEMAIL, other modern mothers have opened up about their own experiences, echoing how it's 'impossible for one woman to do everything'. Juggling motherhood while trying to claw back onto the career ladder is a struggle and most agree.
