[quote=Anonymous]Are you talking to your kids about the choices you make and why? I feel like proactively having those conversations staves off some of this snark and also helps them evaluate what they want to for their own lives - and shows that different paths are okay.

My kids know that I worked very PT when they were younger and that means we had/have lessmoney - but that their dad and I valued the trade off of a more relaxed life and time with them. And they know that I’ve leaned into work since, and find a lot of satisfaction in my career and how it allows me to give back to the larger world, but also know I regret some of the trade offs that has brought for our family. Proactively having those conversations means that if they try any snark it’s easy to say “yeah, we’ve talked about this and you know why I’ve made the choices I have; you can make other choices when you are the parent if you think that will work better for your family” without taking it as an emotional blow.[/quote]
