[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had mommy guilt about working a tough job. But then at 5/6, my daughter expressed total surprise that I worked out of the home at all. LOL- all that guilt for nothing. She was clueless[/quote] It’s interesting (mean that genuinely, not like bad interesting) that you frame her not knowing as a good thing/guilt relieving. I think a lot of working mom posters might be disappointed that they had been hoping to provide an example of a working woman to their young child, and the child didn’t get it at all.[/quote] That's quite the projection. I wouldn't be disappointed if my child didn't get that I work (especially when he's younger than 6, geez!). I'm more serious about modeling the value of personal ambition (whether its academics, hobbies, or whatever floats your boat), and also showing empathy and respect for others. [/quote]
