[quote=Anonymous]I'm 50yo and grew up in a small New England town. Didn't know anyone whose mother worked FT. I only had a dim idea that there were women my parents' age who had gone to college (mine certainly hadn't.) My own mother was a world class rock star SAHM, fantastic in every way, and it never occurred to me that I *wouldn't* go to college or work FT. So as far as I'm concerned, kids' perceptions of parents' career choices are a whole lot less important than raising kids to aspire to their dreams. I've had a really interesting career, make a reasonably decent (not crazy) salary, do work that at least occasionally is intellectually stimulating, AND have tons of flexibility. Will that influence my 2 boys in their careers or in the types of family choices they make? I have zero clue. I hope they do what they love and I hope they can find a way to get as lucky as I've been in terms of both kids and jobs.[/quote]
