[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was extremely ambitious, made 7 figures plus, shattered glass ceilings. Despite her attempts, I never felt like she was present for me - she simply couldn't be when her job always came first. Yes, she showed up to most of my special events (and those of my 2 siblings), but we all knew that if something came up at work, that would always take priority. After years of therapy I've learned to respect that my mom was ambitious, and made her job her first priority. It never meant she didn't love me (though I felt like it did as a kid). But, her actions had consequences, and I didn't have the mom many of my other friends had, and I don't have the relationship with her now that we would both like. Ultimately, everybody chooses. Kids with 2 ambitious parents will be fine, of course. I'm fine, my siblings are fine. But nobody should pretend it won't deeply affect them. It will. [/quote] troll[/quote]
