Look, if you ask a child, Would you rather have a fulfilled mother

Look, if you ask a child, Would you rather have a fulfilled mother or a stay-at-home Sylvia Plath, theyll pick Sylvia Plath every time. But I think its really important that children dont feel their parents emotional lives depend on their success. – Ayelet Waldman
