Oh look, a female F500 CEO who is confident enough to say she spends 30% of her time with her children. She’s saying this works best for her. What she’s not doing is pretending that she is 100% available to her children. She is not claiming that because her children are in school it doesn’t matter that she doesn’t see them in the morning and at night. She’s saying that she’s very intentional when spending time with her kids and that works for her. She’s not saying her neighbor who is a SAHM parents less than she does because of x or y or that it doesn’t matter at all, but that she is comfortable with the trade off.

Maybe if more women could accept the reality that work life balance is a lie in the US, women would stop vilifying women who make different choices around parenting and find some respect for each other and the people who provide childcare/work in early childhood education. Instead of anonymously saying SAHMs are too stupid to make grocery lists, which is 100% internalized misogyny, we should be telling our reps that the US should invest more in these areas and that we also need standard parental leave.
