[quote=Anonymous]Tell your daughter to shoot for the stars.  Isn’t that what you would tell your son?  Life works itself out - you will have to deal with all types of ups and downs but with a good attitude, you will figure out how to work through all of it.   Talking to a teen about how motherhood might limit your career is meaningless at this stage at best and limiting/creating artificial limits at worst.

When your daughter is actually navigating what she should do - thats the time to brainstorm options.  Maybe you are living close by and can offer rides/after school pick up. Maybe you have money you can give her to take a sabbatical.  If she has put herself in a place where she is killing it on something she loves, the range of options open to her will be much broader than you can possibly imagine.

Many on this thread have talked about how important your choice of partner is - and really that’s the key.  If you have kids with someone who wants what you do for yourself, for your partner and for your kids, you have a much better chance of being able to figure things out.

We need the creativity and passion of all our young people, to include all of our daughters. Don’t pull yours out of the game!  [/quote]
