Being a Working Mom is Good for Your Children

In a recent article from Theglasshammer.com, author Aimee Hansen opines that being a working mother is not only good for your children but also promotes gender equality in the workplace. (Hansen Article). This is good news for working mothers like me. Indeed, as a full-time attorney in a busy Northeast law firm with two young children, and the daughter of a full-time working mother, growing up in the 80s, I was thrilled to read this. Certainly, I am not immune to the “working-mom” guilt that I suppose every working mother feels from time to time and, without question, there are days I wish I could clone myself to be in two places at once. That being said, I truly enjoy my job and the opportunity to help clients navigate legal minefields. Thus, I can only hope that the author is right, that through my choices I am being a good role model for my son and my daughter and helping them to succeed as adults.
