Some moms are at every PTA meeting, class party, and basketball game. Then, they’re cooking dinner when their kids arrive home. You won’t find me doing all of that — and it doesn’t mean I love my kids any less.
I grew up with a physician as a mom. She had me and my siblings during her residencies. When I was born in India, my dad told my mom she didn’t have to give up her career and they would make it work.
I grew up with strong examples of working parents and I hope to pass this on to my children. You can balance a career with parenting and what being an involved parent can look like is evolving.
