[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A The problem is this cultural idea of permanent mommy tracking - that once you slow down at all at any point you're written off for good. I think that's the mindset we really need to change.[/quote] +1000[/quote] Whether you are a man or woman, when you are older you are evaluated on your lifetime track record, and there will be plenty of that for others to form a preconceived image of you. You won't be a star from only a year of stellar work, the way a younger person would. It will look like an aberration compared to your overall record. There might be doubts whether you are going to keep it up. This seems to be a justifiable concern--if you decided before that family is more important, what's to stop you from doing it again? (Not saying your priorities are wrong, only that its clear what your priorities are.)[/quote]
