I'm starting to see a lot of posts on social media "subtly" shaming women for working outside the home.

27. My mom

Graduated with a degree in Hotel / Hospitality Management, married my dad a few weeks later, then started moving for his career (Military Officer). He left the military, we settled in western NY - and 10 years later she was an Exec in a hotel management company.

For all of her success, and being a VP she never made half of what I did. She did everything I did backwards, in high heels, with two children. But - aha - my dad's mother was college educated, his six sisters were and he liked Ambitious women. He drilled into me go *big*. Worst that can happen is you fail.

I had a better idea of what I COULD be because my mom went back to work when I was in kindergarten. My parents took turns with making dinner, and hauling us around, and coaching, and girl scouts etc etc.

I didn't miss out on anything because my mom had a career.
