[quote=Anonymous]For women there is pressure to prove that you aren't mommy tracking and you still have a brain. You also know that there will be times when you can't travel or need to leave early so you put in extra time when you can so that option will be there when you need it.

This happens in so many situations. If the mother is surrounded by a bunch of men with SAHMs then she'll feel pressure not to be left out of important work activities or seen as not available for tough assignments. If the mother is younger and around millennial it can be worse.

As a manager, I can tell you that single millennials really resent their co-workers who have children and change their schedule. I used to hear complaining all the time about how so and so has to leave early now so meetings now need to be at 9:00 am which is so early instead of 5pm when everyone could go to happy hour afterwards. I've had a millennial complain that it isn't fair for the person with a new baby to not get called in to work super late because their personal plans are just as important with zero realization that the mother they are trashing was the one who worked late home the last two times while they went drinking.
