[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love this post! I am a mom of a toddler. I always had big career aspirations. I used to have a job that I valued and thought I was "leaning in." But I changed for a more challenging job and realize that I'm not all that interested in my career or leaning in. I wouldn't say I am content to be average, but I'm content to do a good job rather than a fabulous job. I love my evenings and weekend with my kid, and feel my work will only value me if I give those up. My kid is worth so much more than to me! I just want a 9 to 5, or 9 to 6 job that is 'interesting enough' and leave me evenings and weekends, and enough vacation a year. ' [/quote] I think most of us do, I would think if you can easily sacrifice your weekends and evenings for your career, then it makes no sense to have kids. Nobody is frowning these days upon women who decide to stay single or childless to live a different lifestyle or concentrate on career. [/quote]
