[quote=Anonymous]Tough one. I sometimes imagine a Medal ceremony which goes from a tech entrepreneur to an astronaut to a mom or dad who got their stubborn son to poop in the toilet. Ha! I used to be really caught up in external motivators. Have an Ivy League masters, intense career in a male dominated field. Loved the bragging rights. Knew it wouldn’t work for family life. Gave it up. Felt oddly guilty. At the end of the day you have to ask yourself who are you really doing this for? That goes for moms who are doing ‘mom things’ that leave them feeling hollow. You are not gonna get any validation from a 2 year old that’s for sure. This is actually real work, figuring out who you are with all the accolades removed. Where you want to spend your energy. It’s tough, but ultimately been a gift for me. It’s okay to let your kids see you are still just figuring it out. They seem to understand/relate to that. [/quote]
