Argh. That Scary Mommy post makes me furious. It is NOT “working from home” if your kids are also home, unless there is another caregiver present to watch them. Stop perpetuating that and giving wfh a bad name.
maybe it is wishful thinking, but i honestly believe that having a kid has made me better at work
You know- just learning to focus and be fully present, prioritize the important things, and also to engage with people in a way that is productive and just use more positive, uplifting feedback also to disagree better.
I wish more senior women and leaders would talk about how they’ve grown as leaders because of experiences/life outside of work rather than just talk about “having it all” or “finding balance”
Signed- A young mom that cannot really deal with any more of the “I was a jet-setting workaholic and my kids forced balance in my life” talks
