[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, do you know how many times I’ve heard highly successful women tell other women at networking events during their presentations that the most important factor to being successful is having a supportive husband?

As a single mom I find that to be a pretty tone deaf statement as they are there to provide supportive guidance to all women - however it’s their truth and probably very accurate for many highly successful women. [/quote]

I started a very successful business as a single Mom. I know lots of others like me. I've been to several women in business conferences and have never heard someone publicly say husbands are the key to success.

For me, I ditched the male business partners because they were holding me back. [/quote]

i’ve never heard it either, but I probably wouldn’t be where I am without my DHs support. I certainly would be a mother. I’m a surgeon with a private practice that took years to build with an unbelievable sacrifice of time. My DH is the rock of our family life and now. FINALLY at age 50 I can sit back and relax and enjoy with my family the life the money I have made. My DH did absolutely everything to keep the household running. I could have never built my practice and worked those 24hr days without him. [/quote]
